JUST IN: Trump Appeals to Supreme Court to Overturn Ruling on Sweeping Tariffs

President Trump’s DOJ appealed to the US Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling on his sweeping tariffs.

As reported last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected President Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs in a 7-4 decision.

“The Government appeals a decision of the Court of International Trade setting aside five Executive Orders that imposed tariffs of unlimited duration on nearly all goods from nearly every country in the world, holding that the tariffs were not authorized by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq. Because we agree that IEEPA’s grant of presidential authority to “regulate” imports does not authorize the tariffs imposed by the Executive Orders, we affirm,” the Federal Appeals Court said.

In May, The Court of International Trade in New York said President Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).

US Attorney General Pam Bondi last Friday said the DOJ will immediately appeal a federal appeals court ruling on Trump’s tariffs.

.@POTUS Trump found there was a national emergency and took action under the law by imposing tariffs.

The judges of the Federal Circuit are interfering with the President’s vital and constitutionally central role in foreign policy.

This decision is wrong and undermines the…

On Wednesday, the DOJ formally appealed to the US Supreme Court.

CNBC reported:

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday appealed to the Supreme Court a federal court ruling that said that most of his global tariffs are illegal, setting up a legal clash that could determine the future of his trade agenda.

While the formal appeal was expected and the court still needs to accept it, this likely now puts the fate of Trump’s sweeping “reciprocal tariffs” into the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The filing comes after a federal appeals court on Aug. 29 said that most of Trump’s April 2 “reciprocal tariffs” were illegal, throwing the central tenet of his economic agenda into limbo.

President Trump went off after the radical judges struck down his tariffs.

“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT! Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end. If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong. The U.S.A. will no longer tolerate enormous Trade Deficits and unfair Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers imposed by other Countries, friend or foe, that undermine our Manufacturers, Farmers, and everyone else. If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America. At the start of this Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that TARIFFS are the best tool to help our Workers, and support Companies that produce great MADE IN AMERICA products. For many years, Tariffs were allowed to be used against us by our uncaring and unwise Politicians. Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use them to the benefit of our Nation, and Make America Rich, Strong, and Powerful Again! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said.
