A divided U.S. appeals court has ruled most of Donald Trump's tariffs are illegal, undercutting the Republican president's use of the levies as a key international economic policy tool.⁣
⁣
The tariffs will remain in place until October 14 to give the Trump administration a chance to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court.⁣
⁣
Trump slammed the decision, saying: "If these tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the country." He predicted a U-turn though "with the help of the Supreme Court."⁣
⁣
The ruling affects Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs, imposed as part of his trade war in April, as well as a separate set of levies applied in February against China, Canada and Mexico.⁣
⁣
In a 7-4 decision, the court rejected Trump's argument that the tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act, calling them "invalid as contrary to law".⁣
⁣
Trump has made tariffs a pillar of U.S. foreign policy in his second term, using them to exert political pressure and renegotiate trade deals with countries that export goods to the U.S. ⁣
⁣
The tariffs have given the Trump administration leverage to extract economic concessions from trading partners but have also increased volatility in financial markets.⁣
⁣
The decision does not apply to other tariffs, like those imposed on steel and aluminium, brought in under a different presidential authority.⁣
