[Global Network Report, Reporter, Suo Yanqi] The US Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on the 29th that the law invoked by US President Trump when he approved the imposition of tariffs on many countries did not actually give him the power to collect these taxes. According to the British "Guardian", Agence France-Presse and other media reports, Trump posted on his social platform late on Friday (29th) local time to make an "angry" response to the ruling.
"All Tariffs Still in!" Mr. Trump began his post by accusing the "partisan appeals court" of being wrong. He said that if the tariffs were removed, it would be "a complete disaster" for the United States, and then touted his tariff policy.
Finally, Trump said that he would fight back against the relevant ruling "with the help of the US Supreme Court".
According to the Guardian, Democratic California Governor Newsom also responded quickly to the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling that Trump's move to impose tariffs on many countries was illegal. He posted on social platform X on the 30th local time, saying,"Trump is the biggest loser in the United States."
On August 29th, local time, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit voted 7-4 to uphold the previous ruling of the lower court, arguing that the emergency bill cited by Trump did not authorize him to levy most tariffs. According to the ruling, the ruling will not take effect until October 14th, so that the Trump administration can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Local media in the United States believe that the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals is a heavy blow to the Trump administration's radical trade policy.
After Trump took office in January this year, he invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of the United States and introduced a series of tariff increase measures by directly issuing executive orders without the approval of Congress. The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled in May that the Trump administration's move was illegal. Subsequently, the Trump administration appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
