Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized a recent decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade, which ruled that he had overstepped his authority in imposing widespread tariffs. On Thursday, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to voice his discontent.
“The ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade is so wrong, and so political! Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country-threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY,” Trump wrote.
The tariffs in question were among the most extensive implemented during his administration, affecting a broad range of imported goods. Supporters argued that the tariffs were necessary to protect American industries and jobs, while critics claimed they led to higher consumer prices and strained international trade relations.
The legal battle over the tariffs is ongoing. A federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated the duties, allowing them to remain in effect while the case proceeds through the judicial system.
This development adds another layer to the complex discussions surrounding U.S. trade policies and the extent of presidential authority in imposing tariffs. Observers are keenly watching to see how the Supreme Court will respond to the appeal.
