A US Federal Court of Appeal declared the tariffs introduced by the Trump administration to be invalid on Friday and declared that the president went too far when using emergency powers to redesign US trade policy. The judgment of the US Court for the Federal Circuit confirmed a decision by the lower court, which undermines a key point of President Trump’s economic agenda. The majority of the court found that the president exceeded his powers as part of a law from 1977, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Read more about Trump’s tariffs here.
Democrats and Republicans from the US Congress criticize a household-political maneuver by the US government as illegal. U.S. President Donald Trump wants to delete already approved foreign aids in billions with the controversial procedure. This emerges from a letter from the White House to the Republican Chairman of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, which the household authority (Office of Management and Budget) shared on the X platform.
According to the household authority, Trump uses a household-political maneuver that the US Daleshof describes as illegal. This always exists when a US president only asks the congress shortly before the end of the financial year to delete funds so that they expire before they can be used for new purposes.
The White House sentenced a critical article about the Ukraine negotiations by the US envoy Steve Witkoff in the US news portal “Politico” as “foreign influence”. The article by the portal belonging to the German Springer Verlag is a “journalistic failure”, wrote US Vice President JD Vance on Friday in the online service X. “But it is more than that: it is a foreign influence that aims to harm the government and one of our most effective members.”
The Vice chief of the White House, James Blair, described the article as “foreign influence through an online medium under German control”. Other representatives of the White House were similar, but without providing evidence of their allegations.
For the time being, US President Donald Trump failed to push a director of the central bank Fed, Lisa Cook, out of office. After a two -hour court hearing in Washington, Cook remained in office on Friday, since Federal District judge Jia Cobb did not make an immediate decision. Rather, she asked Cooks’ lawyers to demonstrate her arguments more in more detail by Tuesday, why the dismissal was illegal. The hearing was the prelude to a presumably protracted legal dispute, which ultimately deals with the independence of the US Federal Reserve and who should land in front of the Supreme Court.
