Legal battle on duties Usa imposed by Donald Trump. The US Court of International Trade temporarily blocks the tariffs, calling them “illegal” and establishing that the president does not have the authority to impose global duties. In response, the White House is angry, calling it a “coup” by “activist judges” and filing an appeal. For Trump, it is a “political” and “horrible” ruling. Following, the Court of Appeal rules in favor of the administration and suspends the sentence. But the clash is destined to drag on until the Supreme Court.
Elon Musk meanwhile he leaves the administration after the frictions of the last few weeks and officially announces on X the end of his mandate at the helm of the Doge: a press conference is scheduled for today with Trump.
Duties, Sentence Chaos and Trump's Wrath: Here's What He Said
“The horrible decision states that I should have gotten Congressional approval for tariffs,” Trump attacked on Truth. “In other words, hundreds of politicians would have to meet in Washington for weeks, or even months, trying to come to a conclusion about how much to charge other countries that treat us unfairly.”
"I know this sentence had been upheld – continued the tycoon – would have completely destroyed the power of the president: the presidency would never be the same again! With this decision, our country would have lost trillions of dollars, money that would make America great again” “The president of the United States must have the right to protect America from those who are causing economic and financial damage”, said the tycoon again.
US Tariffs, Wescott; “Now Trump Is Being Criticized Even by His Own”
“It won't be the end of the tariff issue, but it is certainly a very important turning point: now Trump will have to ask for the support of Congress, where however the climate has changed substantially”. He says Robert Wescott, former international economic advisor to Bill Clinton at the time of the great launch of globalization and the maximum opening of trade borders. For him, as he confesses to Republic, Trump is losing consensus: "At the beginning of the presidency, no more than five months ago, there was not a single Republican congressman willing to say a word against Trump. Partly out of complacency, partly out of genuine curiosity. And since he has a majority in both branches, he felt shielded. But his personalism, his erratic nature and arrogance, have opened the eyes of many even on his side".
Duties, US Treasury Secretary: Negotiations with China at a Stalemate
Il Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that trade negotiations with China are “a bit at a standstill” and suggested that Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping could be involved. “I would say I'm a little bit at a standstill,” Bessent told the broadcaster Fox News when asked about trade talks with Beijing. “I think we will have more talks with them in the coming weeks and I think at some point we may have a phone call between the US president and the Party chairman, Xi,” he added.
The world's two largest economies agreed this month to suspend tariffs on each other for 90 days, in a surprise escalation in their bitter trade war after talks between top officials in Geneva. With the May 12 truce, Washington has agreed to temporarily reduce tariffs on Chinese imports to 30% – from 145 percent – while China said it would lower its tariffs on American goods to 10 percent from 125 percent. “I think given the breadth of the talks and the complexity of them, it’s necessary for both leaders to have a conversation,” Bessent said.
