US President Donald Trump on Sunday (August 31) defended his controversial tariff policies and called them vital to the country’s economic and military security. He noted in a contribution on the truth of Social after the decision of the Federal Court of Appeal, which limited its authority to impose extensive tariffs.
“Without tariffs and all trillion dollars we have already taken, our country would be completely destroyed and our military force would be immediately destroyed,” Trump wrote.
The post came after the US Court of Appeal for the Federal District decided to 7-4 that Trump had exceeded its authority under the International Act on emergency economic powers (IEEPA) when it deposited wide tariffs on almost every country. However, the Court of Justice remained certain targeted protectionist measures.
Trump appreciated one disapproving judge, whom he described as a democrat appointed by former President Barack Obama, for the vote to follow some of his tariffs. “I would like to thank him for his courage! He loves and respects the US,” Trump said.
The President was breaking the decision as a guerrilla attack of the judiciary. “The radical left -wing group of judges did not care,” he added, emphasizing his opinion that the decision threatened the economic and military power of the country.
The rules of the Federal Court of Appeal against Trump’s tariffs allows appeal
The Federal Court of Appeal on Friday, August 29) ruled that Trump had exceeded its power by imposing wide tariffs on almost every country and quoting limits under the 1977 emergency law.
In the judgment 7-4, the judges said that Congress probably never intended to grant the president unlimited authority to impose tariffs. However, the court of court immediately did not interfere with the tariffs and gave the administration until mid -October to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Trump’s tariff strategy under fire
In April, Trump deposited reciprocal tariffs up to 50% on nations with which the US operates trade deficits, along with 10% default fee on most others. While some countries, including the United Kingdom, Japan and the EU, have agreed on revised terms and conditions, others faced steeper sanctions.
Trump justified extensive measures by declaring long -term US trade with the deficits of the national emergency situation. Previously, he raised the same law to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China and quotes illegal immigration and drug trafficking across the American borders as the threats of national security.
The tariffs to which the decision applies
The decision of the Court of Appeal does not affect the tariffs deposited on steel, aluminum, cars or separate Chinese fees, which were first presented during the earlier term of Trumpa-Kirté Biden Administration since then.
