The tariffs imposed against Canada, Mexico and China in February were declared invalid by a court, and the Trump administration will have the right to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The US Court of Appeals has ruled that the tariffs issued by President Donald Trump are illegal. According to international media, on Friday, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that the tariffs imposed by Trump were illegal.
Trump's separate tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China last February and the legality of the 'reciprocal' tariffs imposed in April were questioned and the tariff was declared illegal.
Trump announced the tariffs based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPA). Under the same law, he arbitrarily imposed customs duties. But the court ordered that the imposition of customs duty does not fall within the jurisdiction of the President.
However, the Trump administration has been given the chance to appeal to the US Supreme Court. International media reported that these taxes have also been allowed to remain unchanged until October 14.
Reacting to the
verdict, Trump argued that America should suffer the consequences. "If upheld, this decision will literally (literally) destroy the United States of America," he wrote on the social networking site Truth. If these tariffs are removed, it will be a complete disaster for the country. It will weaken us financially.'
Trump used tariffs as a major weapon in international economic policy. According to analysts, this court decision has weakened his policy.
