However, it has allowed the current increased tariffs to continue until mid-October. The judges have issued a verdict in this regard by a margin of 7-4. The verdict has been allowed to be challenged in the US Supreme Court.

Trump, who took office as the US President for the second time in January this year, is known to be taking controversial decisions under the banner of ‘America First’. As part of this, Trump brought the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs on every country doing business with the superpower.

A 10 percent tariff was imposed as a baseline. The imposition of 50 percent tariffs on India on the pretext of purchasing oil from Russia has become a topic of discussion everywhere. There is criticism at home and abroad about this.

Meanwhile, Trump responded to the appeals court ruling and said that America will prevail in the end. He posted on his social media platform Truth, criticizing the appeals court ruling. He said that the tariffs imposed on all countries are currently in effect.

He was angry that the biased appeals court ruled that the tariffs imposed on trading partners should be removed. He made it clear that America will ultimately prevail in this process.

He said that if these tariffs are removed, it will be a disaster in the history of the country. He expressed his concern that America should be stronger, but this decision will weaken the country economically.

He defended his decision that tariffs are still the best way to close the trade deficit and deal with foreign trade barriers. He said that with the help of the Supreme Court, he will use tariffs for the benefit of our country to make America stronger, richer, and more powerful. (Maxim News)
