We all remember Trump’s liberation day – April 2. With a big hubbub, in the White House Rose Garden, the President revealed a percentage for each country around the world. He has a government, in the capital globally, addicted and grimacing.

It was a dramatic opening salvo in his efforts to reply to countries that he considered tore America, to balance the deficit, and give him a leverage negotiation.

It was a day that reversed global trade and sent economy, markets and companies to Tailspins.

And after all that, Wednesday night, the Panel of Three Judges in the US International Trade Court find all the tariffs violating the law And permanently “emptying” them.

Since the day of liberation, there have been about half a dozen lawsuits that challenge the ability of the president to impose tariffs without the approval of the congress. But this is the first legal decision of the federal court against him.

The US constitution stipulates that only a congress, not the president, who has the authority to collect taxes. However, the Congress allowed the President to charge unilaterally for national security reasons. And that is a provision that was exploited by President Trump on his liberation day.

He imposed his tariff by stating “national economic emergency”. He requested the law of the 1977 International Emergency Economy (Ieepa).

Basically, he seized the President’s authority because it was a matter of American national security to improve the economy and he concluded that the tariff was the answer.

But in this unclear Manhattan Court Building, three judges, who were appointed for years by Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama and Mr. Trump themselves (during their first term), had decided that the executive order was “invalid, contrary to the law”.

Those in power states: “We do not read Ieepa to delegate unlimited tariff authority to the President,” Add Trud “Tariffs throughout the world and Trump’s revenge does not have identified limits”.

The judges said Ieepa had limited authority that could be done only to “handle an unusual and extraordinary threat regarding the national emergency that was declared … and may not be carried out for other purposes.”

The verdict also applies to the tariff against China, Mexico and Canada, which is designed to fight Fentanyl who came to the United States.

The verdict will significantly deepen the slices between the Trump government and the judiciary, who have tried to disturb many aspects of his president, found him acting in conflict with the law and constitution.

In a few minutes after the decision was issued, the Senior White House staff reacted rather than rejecting the decision. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, wrote in X, saying “Judicial coup”, as he said, was out of control.

In one hour after the verdict was announced to the public, the White House spokesman Kush Desai said: “Not for judges who are not chosen to decide how to overcome the national emergency. President Trump promised to prioritize America, and the government is committed to using every executive strength lever to overcome this crisis and restore the greatness of America.”

Futures jumped to the news. Governments and businesses throughout Europe and outside will be built to ask questions what it means to them. Is the tariff only dissolved? Unclear. The tariff is worn as an item through the current border – What is the mechanism for lifting it? We don’t know yet. This is a new layer of uncertainty and confusion.

The President’s lawyer appealed. But assuming the decision was established, there are more broad points for all this. This is very damaging to Trump’s strategy – because he uses tariffs as negotiation tactics and as an income generator.

This damaged a broader strategy too – because to get many constitutional obstacles, his government only stated “emergency” – a border emergency, economic emergency – and the court now called him.

This court has not said the tariff is wrong, economically. That’s not the shipment. The judges were only asked to interpret the law and constitution. They have concluded that the President has no authority to charge tariffs. That is the law, Mr. President.

A clear strategy now for him is to involve the congress – to try to get his law in the right way. But will the congress be past large tariffs like that even with a narrow majority? Probably not. That’s Democracy, Mr. President.

The central principle of Trump’s agenda has just reversed. This is just another twist in this extraordinary presidency.
