The US President has already responded to this decision.
US President Donald Trump’s tariffs are unconstitutional, but they can remain in place for now, a US appeals court has ruled.
The court ruled that the US president did not have the legal authority to declare emergencies and impose import tariffs against almost all countries, while generally upholding the verdict of a specialized federal trade court, writes Sky News .
But appeals judges delayed implementation of their ruling until mid-October, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect so the administration could appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
The American leader, for his part, commented on the decision, stating that all tariffs are still in effect. “If these tariffs were ever to disappear, it would be a complete disaster for the country. It would make us financially weak, and we should be strong. The United States will no longer tolerate huge trade deficits and unfair tariff and non-tariff barriers imposed on us by other countries – whether friends or foes – that undermine our producers, farmers and everyone else,” he wrote in Truth Social .
The court’s ruling could limit the speed and scope of Trump’s actions, despite his having alternative laws to impose import tariffs. In a legal filing this month, the Justice Department warned that repealing the tariffs could mean “financial ruin” for the United States.

The taco regime, being the most criminal in our history, doesn’t care what any courts rule.
This will go to the Supreme court in October, so nothing will come of it. Not that these tariffs are working anyway.
Great. The same Supreme Court that made a second orange presidential election possible.
Repeal the Trump tax on Americans!!!😠
To set the record straight, this is what AI says about the “Trump tax on Americans”…
In fiscal year 2025, the U.S. government has collected a total of $158.3 billion in customs duties as of August 19, primarily driven by new tariffs implemented since April. This far surpasses the $77 billion collected in all of fiscal year 2024 and represents a significant increase in revenue
The customs duties are passed on to the companies which are then passed on to the customers. Meaning they are collected from everyday Americans!😠
So they’ve more than doubled how much the American consumers are paying for tariffs.
This is what AI says about “Who pays the cost of Trump’s tariffs?”
Based on numerous recent economic studies and reports, the cost of Trump’s tariffs has been paid almost entirely by American consumers and businesses, not foreign exporters. The money collected goes to the U.S. Treasury, but it is American importers who pay the tax.
The burden on American consumers
• Higher prices: In most cases, the higher costs from tariffs are passed down the supply chain to consumers through increased prices for goods. Studies have repeatedly shown that this has led to increased costs for American households.
• Reduced spending power: The overall effect is that Americans have less disposable income due to paying more for both tariffed and non-tariffed goods. Some analyses have estimated the average American household could pay over a thousand dollars more per year.
The impact on American businesses
• Importers pay the tax: U.S. businesses that import goods are legally required to pay the tariff to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
• Absorbing costs: Some large companies may initially absorb some of the tariff costs to maintain prices, but they often pass the increases on to customers later.
• Supply chain disruptions: Businesses are forced to either raise prices or seek new, more expensive suppliers, leading to disruptions in their supply chains and reduced competitiveness. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable due to thinner margins.
• Reduced export sales: American businesses, especially in sectors like agriculture, have also been hurt by retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries.
