21深度｜特朗普关税战被裁定“越权”背后：三大关键悬念待解

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. International Trade Court ruled against President Trump's tariff policy, stating that he overstepped his authority by imposing tariffs on countries with trade surpluses with the U.S. This ruling challenges the legality of the tariffs and emphasizes the constitutional power of Congress in regulating trade [1][2][3]. Group 1: Legal Challenge and Court Ruling - The U.S. International Trade Court's ruling on May 28, 2023, blocked Trump's tariff policy, asserting that the President does not have the authority to impose broad tariffs without Congressional approval [2][3]. - The lawsuit was initiated by a coalition of 12 states, arguing that Trump's tariff policy was an unlawful exercise of power [2]. - The court's decision undermines Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as a legal basis for imposing tariffs, which could lead to the cancellation of tariffs imposed under this act [2][3]. Group 2: Implications for Trade Policy - The ruling is expected to significantly impact the Trump administration's trade agenda, potentially limiting its ability to use tariffs as a tool for trade protectionism [3][6]. - The decision may embolden other countries in their negotiations with the U.S., as it strengthens their position against U.S. trade pressures [3][9]. - The ruling could lead to a reassessment of U.S. trade policies, as domestic pressures from affected industries and political divisions grow [9][10]. Group 3: Market Reactions - Following the court's decision, there was a notable market reaction, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures rising over 1%, indicating optimism regarding a potential easing of trade tensions [7][8]. - The ruling is likely to influence sectors such as technology and industrials, which may see gains, while defense and domestic steel industries could experience pullbacks [8]. - The overall market sentiment reflects a belief that the tariff policies may become more moderate in the future, despite ongoing uncertainties [9].
