  • A second federal court has blocked President Trump's authority to unilaterally impose tariffs. We speak with the plaintiff in the first case, a wine company that took on the executive branch and won.

A small family-run wine business, Michel-Schlumberger, challenged the U.S. executive branch over a trade policy that imposed high tariffs on European wines, arguing that it unfairly impacted their business. The case, which gained attention due to its David vs. Goliath nature, resulted in a significant ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade in favor of the winery, declaring the tariffs unconstitutional.
