Core Points - The U.S. government has been ruled illegal in its use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs, marking a significant setback for the aggressive trade policies of the Trump administration [1][3] - The ruling raises questions about the validity of previous trade agreements made with the U.S. [1][5] - The ruling was upheld by the Federal Circuit Court, which stated that the power to impose tariffs is a core authority of Congress, not the President [3][5] Summary by Sections Legal Ruling - The Federal Circuit Court maintained the previous ruling that the Trump administration's tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were illegal, with a vote of 7 to 4 [3] - The court emphasized that while the Act allows the President to take certain economic measures in emergencies, it does not grant the authority to impose tariffs through executive orders [3] Economic Impact - The ruling could have direct implications for the U.S. economy and may trigger reactions in global markets, as trade partners reassess the legal standing of U.S. tariffs [5] - The Trump administration collected approximately $107 billion in tariffs from February to July, a significant portion of which was based on the now-ruled illegal measures [4] Ongoing Trade Negotiations - The U.S. is still engaged in trade negotiations with multiple countries, including the UK, Vietnam, and the EU, but the legal uncertainty surrounding tariffs may complicate these discussions [6][7] - Japan's trade representative canceled a trip to the U.S. due to dissatisfaction with proposed U.S. tariffs, indicating potential friction in ongoing negotiations [7]

上诉法院的这个判决，和当初联邦贸易法院的判决一样，又一次让特朗普破防了，他在自家的媒体上咆 哮： "所有关税都还在！这是一个高度党派化的法院错误判决，但美国最后一定会赢。如果这些关税真的取 消，对国家来说将是一场彻底的灾难。" 特朗普手下的哼哈二将——财政部长贝森特、商务部长卢特尼克也立即对上诉法院提交了"警告书"。 贝森特：如果法院真判关税非法，美国会陷入"外交尴尬"，甚至被外国觉得"软弱无力"。 美国联邦上诉法院，正式判决特朗普政府所谓的"对等关税"违法，法院的理由是： 特朗普引用的法律（1977年的《国际紧急状态经济权力法》IEEPA）里根本没写"总统可以加关税"。宪 法规定关税和税收是国会的核心权力，总统不能自己"造条款"。 这个理由，和当初联邦贸易法院判决的理由，完全一样。 关于联邦上诉法院可能的判决，我在6月份的两篇文章中已经预判过了——特朗普的"对等关税"，必然 违法。当初联邦贸易法院，不得不判决它违法；联邦上诉法院，也同样不得不判决它违法。 特朗普大战联邦司法系统「链接」 特朗普的关税，美国巡回法院会怎么判？「链接」 另外还有一件事情，就是美联储理事库克被特朗普解雇的事儿。库克将此事上诉至法院 ...
