Trump warns of ‘total disaster’ if latest tariff ruling stands, signals plan to appeal
The court found Trump exceeded his authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with tariffs raising $183 billion but facing suspension pending Supreme Court review.
- On Friday, a federal appeals court determined that most tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump were illegal, finding that he exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- The tariffs began on April 1 under a declared economic emergency to protect American jobs and industries amid trade tensions with key partners including China, Canada, and Mexico.
- China, Canada, and Mexico responded with targeted countermeasures against U.S. sectors, leading to struggles for American exporters and inflation that disproportionately burden low- and middle-income households.
- Trump condemned the ruling as made by a 'highly Partisan Appeals Court,' insisted 'ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!,' and warned removing them would cause 'a total disaster for the Country.'
- The court postponed enforcing its ruling until October 14, providing the administration an opportunity to seek review from the Supreme Court amid economic indicators showing stagnant job growth and ongoing inflation.
