  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.

  • Namaste, I'm Devina Gupta and on this edition,

  • all about President Trump's battle in court to save his tariff plan.

  • We'll hear from business owners on the front lines and the former Director General of the World Trade Organization about what this could mean for the future of global trade.

  • is not a US trade war.

  • This is a US war against the global trading system.

  • Also,

  • we hear about the new boss of the African Development Bank and why is France voting to remove low emission zones for cars.

  • But first, it's been a hectic 24 hours for US trade policy.

  • Last night,

  • the Court of International Trade ruled that President Trump didn't have the power to impose the sweeping tariffs under emergency laws,

  • meaning his plans to impose a baseline 10% tariff on all nations,

  • also the higher levies on certain countries, were temporarily blocked.

  • Now, obviously,

  • this led to jubilation of sorts among small businesses that were fighting to have these Liberation Day tariffs removed.

  • Representing one such group and a number of states,

  • including Oregon, was Attorney General Dan Rayfield.

  • Tariffs are something that are not just out there in the ether, right?

  • They are something that we all pay.

  • They get passed down to us as consumers.
