What happens next after court rules them illegal?

The Federal Appeal Court ruled that most of Donald Trump’s tariff is a mitigation of its use of emergency authorities as president.

The US Court of Appeal said on Friday that the so -called mutual definitions – which are imposed on almost every country circulating with it – are imposed illegally.

The decision supports a ruling in May from the International Trade Court, which also rejected Trump’s argument that his global tariff is permitted under the emergency economic power law.

Many customs tariffs that will be affected by the ruling from a 10 % flat declaration in April stems from imports from all countries, which Trump said will come out to “unfair” trade relations with the United States.

The court did not cut the definitions, but instead it said that it would remain in place until mid -October, which set an additional legal challenge in the United States Supreme Court.

There is still a lot of unknown, but this is what we understand so far about the ruling – and what it might mean for the pioneering policy of the American president.

In its 7-4 Resolution, the Court of Appeal supported the discovery of the lower court that Trump had no power to impose a global tariff.

This was largely because of the law that Trump used to justify policies, the IEEPA law, which the judges said did not grant “the authority to impose definitions, duties, or the like, or the tax authority.”

the The American Appeal Court rejected the Trump argument The definitions were allowed according to its emergency economic powers, describing the fees as “unlike the law.”

Trump immediately criticized the ruling, taking the social truth in the hours that followed its decline to summon the “high party” appeal court and the ruling “a disaster” of the country.

“If it is allowed to stand, this decision will literally destroy the United States of America,” he wrote.

The work that was published again and repeatedly by Trump during his period in his post gives an important authority for the American quarter to respond to a national emergency or a major threat from abroad.

the 1977 Law countries The president can withdraw a number of economic cranes “to deal with any unusual and unusual threat, which has its entire or large source outside the United States, to national security, foreign policy or economy.”

It was used by the presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who protested this law to impose sanctions on Russia after the illegal annexation of the Crimea in 2014, then again after the full invasion of Ukraine after eight years.

However, the Court of Appeal stated in its decision that the emergency law “did not give the president a large -scale power to impose a tariff.”

They said that IEPA “does not mention the customs tariff (or any of its synonyms) and there are no procedural guarantees that contain clear limits on the president’s authority to impose definitions.”

Trump argued when he unveiled his global definitions that the trade balance was harmful to American national security, and thus was a national emergency.

However, the court ruled that the imposition of definitions is not within the term of the president, and “the authority of the portfolio (including the tax authority) belongs to Congress.”

Outside a major setback on the axis of Trump’s agenda, the Federal Appeal Court’s ruling can have an immediate impact on the American economy, with effects on global markets.

Definitions are the taxes that companies must pay in exchange for importing some goods from foreign countries – so that they can have an impact on sales margins and profit.

“Companies will undergo uncertainty,” Dr. Linda Yuh, economist at Oxford University and London College of Business, told BBC Radio 4 today.

Definitions aim to deter local companies from buying foreign goods, which in turn affects international trade.

While the two countries are waiting to see if the US Supreme Court will take the case – which seems probably – can decide to stop doing business with the United States.

If this happens, Dr. Yuh said, he could “relieve economic activity.”

There are also great repercussions that you can feel within the political field.

For example, if the Supreme Court reflects the decision of the Federal Appeal Court and directed it to the Trump administration, it may put a precedent that encourages the president to use IEPA more strongly than he has done so far.

The case is likely to move to the highest American court, a challenge Trump referred to the social truth.

“The definitions have been allowed to use us against us by our non -wise politicians,” Trump wrote. “Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use it for our nation, and make America rich, strong and powerful again!”

The conservative majority in the US Supreme Court can make it likely to stand by the president’s view.

Six of the nine judges were appointed by Republican presidents, including three who chose Trump during his first term at the White House.

But the court was also more critical to presidents when they seemed to overcome the policies that Congress did not directly declare.

During Joe Biden, for example, the court expanded what it described as the “principle of major questions” to nullify democratic efforts to use the current laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by energy generation stations and forgive students’ loan debt to millions of Americans.

The Federal Court of Appeal 7-4 was divided into its decision that Trump’s global tariff was almost illegal. The US administration has now granted until mid -October to resume the US Supreme Court in a case with effects on both the American economy and its commercial relationship with the rest of the world.

If the Supreme Court confirmed the decision, this may lead to uncertainty in the financial markets.

There will be questions about whether the United States will have to pay the billions of dollars collected through the import taxes.

It can also wonder if the main economies – including UKfor Japan and South Korea – Cabled in the individual commercial deals they obtained with the United States before the deadline in August. Other commercial deals can also be subjected to chaos.

If he is allowed to stand, the decision of the Court of Appeal will be a huge blow to Trump’s political power and reputation as a deals. But if the Supreme Court is canceled, it will have an opposite effect.

This ruling affects Trump “Mutual definitions”Which includes a range of different rates on most countries around the world, including taxes that slapped products from China, Mexico and Canada.

These fees will remain on almost all goods from almost every country run by the United States in place until mid -October.

After October 14, it will not be implemented anymore, the Court of Appeal said.

Separately, the definitions will remain on steel, aluminum and copper, which were placed under a different presidential authority, sound and not affected by the court ruling.
