Core Points - A U.S. federal court has blocked President Trump's tariff policy announced on April 2, ruling that he overstepped his authority by imposing comprehensive tariffs on countries that export more to the U.S. than they import [1][3] - The court's 49-page ruling stated that only Congress has the power to regulate trade with other nations, thus prohibiting the Trump administration from executing tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) [3][4] - The White House has expressed strong opposition to the ruling, claiming that non-elected judges should not dictate responses to national emergencies and that the administration will use all executive powers to address the crisis [1][3] Tariff Policy Implications - The court has mandated that the U.S. government must issue new enforcement notices to all customs ports within 10 days to implement the ban on tariffs, and during this period, the Customs and Border Protection must cease collecting tariffs based on IEEPA [4] - If the Trump administration's request for a stay of the ruling is not approved, the ban will take effect after 10 days, potentially reducing tariffs on China to around 12% [4] - The ruling has rendered previous tariff orders ineffective immediately upon issuance, and the government must publish necessary administrative orders to enforce the permanent ban [4] Responses from China - China's Ministry of Commerce reiterated the U.S. court's ruling and criticized the unilateral tariff measures, stating they have not resolved U.S. issues but have instead harmed international trade order [6] - The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that there are no winners in a trade war and that protectionism ultimately harms all parties involved [6] Future Strategies - Amid the legal challenges, Trump's trade team is reportedly considering a backup plan involving a two-step approach: first, imposing a maximum 15% tariff globally for 150 days to address trade imbalances, and second, developing personalized tariffs for each major trading partner during that period [6][8]
