The Constitution overthrows Trump: Tariffs, outlawed, Protectionism clashes with American justice...
A surprise blow has come from the US justice system that could change the course of President Donald Trump's protectionist economic policies. A federal court has ruled that the tariffs he imposed on nearly every country in the name of a national emergency were an overreach of his authority as President.
This decision can be considered one of Trump's deepest political and legal failures, as it fundamentally challenges his foreign and economic policy, known as "America First."
Violation of presidential powers
According to the court's ruling, Trump used an emergency law to impose tariffs on various countries without sufficient legal justification. This act has been interpreted as an attempt to bypass Congress and exercise absolute power in the field of trade.
This decision calls into question for the first time the constitutionality of the White House's protectionist policies during the Trump presidency.
The end of the protectionist narrative?
The tariffs imposed by Trump had become a symbol of his electoral campaign and presidency, aiming to "protect" American manufacturers from Chinese, European or Mexican competition. Now, with the court's decision, this policy line is being overturned as incompatible with the law and with the fundamental principles of the separation of powers.
The Trump administration has said it will appeal the decision, arguing that "it is not the job of judges to decide how to handle a national emergency." But this response seems more like political justification than legal rebuttal.
Consequences in the global arena
This legal blow to Trump also has repercussions for global trade. US economic partners may be more cautious about US policies, pending legal clarity. This also has an impact on Albania and the Balkan region, which depend on Euro-Atlantic economic stability and on the trade policies of the EU, which always reacts to US policies.
In conclusion,
The latest US court ruling is not only a setback for Trump, but a signal that protectionist policy in the US has reached its limits. Any claim to centralized decision-making over the economy in the name of the "national interest" will have to pass through the filter of justice./ Pamphlet
