**Trump Tariffs Back in Court: Judges Question "Deficit" Defense**
A U.S. court sharply questioned the legal basis for President Donald Trump's latest tariffs on Friday. The hearing tests the President's trade powers just months after a Supreme Court ruling against his earlier tariffs.
A three-judge panel in New York heard arguments on tariffs the President imposed in February. He used a law known as Section 122, which allows tariffs to fix a trade deficit.
The judges questioned both government and business lawyers. They focused on whether a trade deficit legally justifies the tariffs.
The court did not indicate how it will rule. However, it has previously upheld the President's authority to impose separate tariffs for different reasons.
This case is another major legal challenge to the President's use of tariffs in global trade disputes.
