US Appeals Court rules tariff mostly illegal! Now, Trump pleas to the Supreme Court
In a surprise twist for those watching global trade, a divided US appeals court has determined that Donald Trump's tariffs are illegal, further weakening one of the Republican President's scripts for using levies as a linchpin of international economic policy. This ruling may have wide-ranging impacts across sectors that depend on tariff-enabled protections and disrupt import-export planning.
With a legal lens becoming clearer, the fight over the independence of the Federal Reserve appears on course for the Supreme Court, keeping alive the prospect of a historic showdown this year that could challenge the full breadth of Trump's economic agenda. As of now, the court has permitted the tariffs to stay in effect until October 14, providing the Trump administration a window to escalate the matter to the US Supreme Court.
