A U.S. court ruling that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs under emergency powers has sparked uncertainty ahead of two major global summits, including a gathering of the world’s top economies and a NATO meeting.
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled late Wednesday that Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and other countries without congressional approval. The court gave the White House 10 days to remove almost all tariffs imposed under Section 232, which allows the president to impose duties on national security grounds without congressional approval.
Trump’s administration argued in its appeal that a ruling against him would cripple negotiations over trade deals and imperil government responses to emergencies. The Biden administration’s Department of Justice also filed an appeal regarding Tuesday’s decision.
Trump responded to the judges who ruled against him, calling their decision "wrong" and "horrible." He stated, "I’m not going to let them get away with it. I will fight this all the way up."
It remains unclear if there will be any changes made prior to the upcoming G7 summit scheduled for June 11-13 at Schloss Elmau, Germany, or the NATO Summit set for July 12-14 in Vilnius, Lithuania. No official word has been given by either side about potential changes related to these events.
Former Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland commented on BBC Radio, stating, "What [former] President Trump does is exactly what I would do if I were running my own company…he wants immediate results today, not tomorrow or next year." He added, "He doesn’t care about long-term consequences because he doesn’t have long-term consequences…he only cares about how many people are going to vote for him."
A spokesperson for Biden did not immediately respond when asked whether there was any consideration being given regarding potential changes related to these events due to recent developments surrounding former President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers during his presidency.
