U.S. Trade Court Allows Appeal on Trump’s Tariffs: Oregon Attorney General Calls Them Illegal

In a significant development for trade regulations, the United States International Trade Court’s recent decision allows for an appeal against former President Trump’s tariffs to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. This ruling underscores the potential for a review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Oregon Attorney General Dan Reingold has characterized these tariffs as illegal and reckless, asserting they have inflicted serious harm on the economy. His office is spearheading the legal challenge from various states. Reingold emphasized the importance of adhering to American law, stating, “This ruling reaffirms that trade decisions must be grounded in legality, not arbitrary decision-making from the president.” As of now, the White House has not issued a statement regarding this ruling, leaving room for potential future legal battles led by the former administration. Such developments will be crucial in shaping U.S. trade policy moving forward.
