President Trump's trade war is causing the global economy to slow, with growth now heading for its weakest pace since the COVID-19 pandemic, the OECD warned on Tuesday. The OECD cut its forecasts for most G20 economies and warned that easing trade tensions is key to boosting investment and keeping prices stable.

Some of the challenges are self-inflicted, but a fresh set of court rulings questioning the president’s authority to enact tariffs hangs over his trade agenda.

The U.S. is urging other countries to submit proposals in several key areas, including tariff and quota offers for purchasing U.S. industrial and agricultural products.

Lawmakers approved a plan to help companies and consumers as officials bargain in Washington for relief from debilitating auto levies.

US states and small businesses that won a ruling that most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs are illegal want them blocked during the administration’s appeal, saying they’re suffering immediate harm from economic uncertainty around the levies.

The Trump administration has asked a U.S. appeals court to block a recent ruling declaring its sweeping tariffs illegal. The White House stated in an emergency motion to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that stopping the tariffs poses a danger to crucial trade talks already underway with dozens of countries.
