Donald Trump claimed in March: “Tariffs are easy.” For his administration and the world, they have proven it all. Now an obscure New York court blocks his signature trade policy, establishing a battle that will surely end in the Supreme Court.

The plan is simple. Trump has filed lawsuits against tariffs for decades. Now, in his second semester, he will hike drastically throughout the world. Raised trillions of dollars for the federal government; reduced taxes to Americans; and lured manufacturers to the heart of the country’s industrial industry, creating millions of jobs.

But this fierce bidding is a radical reform of the global economy, and it turns out that time is once again. Threat followed by delay. The exemption was carved from what was claimed to be a common wave of tariffs. Even if it is imposed, it is days before the pause is announced.

Trump returned to the office and was determined to ignore all the warnings that led to his first administration blocking his most extreme ideas.

Long before the president returned to the White House, he had promised to raise interest rates on the country's two largest trading partners and launch a trade war with the world's second-largest economy. What followed was the expropriation from dozens of other countries.

Every major economic attack lays the foundation for a rapid retreat. Tariffs in Canada and Mexico were almost stopped. Steep personal tariffs calculated for a range of trading partners have been reduced to 10%. It has been going on for weeks, and 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have been greatly reduced.

Trump's thoughts in every situation have not changed. His arms twisted.

The panic in the market prompted his government to retreat after initially showing resistance. And warned that those who voted Trump to vote for the first time in the defense were the first to force the president to reduce risks initially and reconsider it.

Trump's economic agenda (i.e., aides) attempts to curb the real consequences of not being in line with his narrative without guardrails. On Wednesday, further distortion threatened the heart of his plan.

In order to impose blanket tariffs on countries from Mexico and Mauritius to China and Chad, the government declared a national emergency and used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law of 1977, as a legal justification.

According to the White House, the fact that fentanyl flows between borders and the fact that U.S. imports and exports are more urgent than exports, guaranteeing tariffs under Ieepa. A little-known federal court disagrees.

The U.S. Court of International Trade concluded in a ruling. The panel of three federal judges wrote that most of Trump’s tariffs, including all import rates proposed last month, “overtake any authority Ieepa grants to the president to regulate imports through tariffs.”

The Court of Appeal on Thursday ruled that the ruling “is temporarily till the court considers the motion document until further notice”.

But there is no doubt that this is a major setback. Rather than barely backing down his own tariffs and presenting them as some sort of negotiating coup, as Trump has repeatedly done in recent months, his administration has pulled the plug for the first time in a few figures outside his administration.

"This is a novel and widespread use of Ieepa, and it's also untested," said Greta Peisch, former general counsel for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative under Joe Biden, who added, "It's completely new." "They are really testing the limitations of that power, and the ability of the executive to use it to impose tariffs."

The government appeal calls the ruling an example of "judicial tyranny" in the United States. But in a narrow decision Thursday, when a second court put a preliminary ruling on Trump's tariffs in a case filed by two Illinois toy companies, they learned resources and Hand2Mind, raising another legal barrier.

Whatever happens, this process is unlikely to force Trump to fundamentally rethink his economic agenda. The ruling in the US international trade ruling is not about whether the White House should launch a series of tariff attacks on the world, but how it will be launched.

"We have a strong case with Ieepa," White House trade adviser Peter Navarro claimed in a Bloomberg interview on Thursday. "But the court basically told us that if we lose, we're just doing something else," he said. "So nothing has changed."

After months of uncertainty, these latest legal issues add another layer of chaos rather than clarity for businesses trying to navigate the world economy under Trump.

“We will decide to work through the U.S. court system,” said Candace Laing, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. “Ultimately, the end of the trade war with the United States will not be achieved through the court.”

Despite Trump's promise, most Americans are not that "hell rich" due to tariffs. Tariffs also did not raise trillions of dollars or created millions of jobs. But Trump's views have not changed. They remain beautiful, at least in his eyes.

“Don’t predict that this will be where we end up,” Peisch, an attorney at the current law firm Wiley, said of the current legal barriers. “There will be a lot of ups and downs anywhere we get to the final resting place under this administration.”
