The United States International Court has ruled that The so -called “Liberation Day Tariffs” imposed by Donald Trump are illegalconsidering that the president exceeded his constitutional authority by imposing them.
The judges consider that Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Emergency Powers Law (IEEPA) of 1977 to impose rates without an unusual and extraordinary national threat, so, the measure announced in the ruling, Cancels the 10% global tariff application to a wide range of products, including consumer goods and manufactures, imposed by Trump shortly after returning to the presidency.
The Court determined that the use of IEEPA to justify general tariff There was no national emergency to support it. In addition, the Court has stressed that the power to impose rates corresponds to the Congress and not to the Presidentso the delegation of that authority without an adequate legal basis is unconstitutional. Faced with Trump’s excuse on the use of fentanyl, it has also been dismissed because tariffs do not correct that problem. “The judicial coup is out of control,” said Stephen Miller, one of the most powerful White House advisors.
This sentence represents a significant setback for Trump’s commercial policy, which had used the Tariffs as a central tool in its economic strategy since he entered the White House. The news has triggered the stock market, but it has also generated the immediate anger of the administration: “It does not correspond to non -elected judges to decide how to adequately address a national emergency. President Trump promised to prioritize the United States, and the administration undertakes to use all the resources of the Executive Power to address this crisis and restore the American greatness”, which has reacted in this way in a statement.
Given this measure, the government of The United States has already announced its intention to appeal the decision, which means taking the case before the Supreme Court.
