Causing a stir in US politics and economy, an appeals court on Friday declared most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs illegal. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit says that the President has emergency powers, but does not have the right to impose tariffs or taxes.
This decision is being considered a big blow to Trump’s economic policies. According to the AP report, the court also allowed the tariffs to remain in place until October 14, giving the Trump administration an opportunity to take the matter to the Supreme Court.
On the other hand, President Trump rejected the court’s order outright and said that all tariffs will remain in place. He called the court’s decision wrong and biased and said that if it is allowed to remain like this, this decision will destroy America. We will use the tariffs in the interest of our nation with the help of the Supreme Court.
Trump called the court biased
Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social, “All tariffs are still in place. Today a highly biased appeals court wrongly said our tariffs should be removed, but they know that in the end America will win. If these tariffs are ever removed, it will be a big disaster for the country.”
Trump also raised the issue of trade deficit and unfair tariffs imposed by foreign countries in his statement. He wrote, “America will no longer tolerate huge trade deficits and unfair tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers imposed by other countries, whether friend or foe, that weaken our producers, farmers and everyone else. If it is allowed to remain like this, this decision will literally destroy America.”
Trump administration will resort to Supreme Court
He further said that at the start of Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that tariffs are the best way to help our workers and support companies that make the best Made in America products. For many years, our careless and unwise politicians allowed tariffs to be used against us. Now, with the help of the US Supreme Court, we will use them (tariffs) in the interest of our nation and make America prosperous, strong and powerful again.
US court gave this decision on tariffs
Let us tell you that the US Appeals Court said in an important decision on Friday that most of the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump are illegal. The Washington DC-based US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said that the law gives the President the power to take several actions after declaring a national emergency, but nowhere in these is there any mention of permission to impose tariffs or taxes.
This decision is related to the reciprocal tariffs imposed in April and the tariffs imposed on China, Canada and Mexico in February. However, this decision will not affect the tariffs imposed under other legal provisions of Trump (such as duties imposed on steel and aluminum).
