Trump Calls Emergency Meeting on Tariff Ruling Amid Legal Challenges

US President Donald TRUMP announced an emergency meeting to address recent judicial rulings against his global tariff policies. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit last week deemed the tariffs an "illegal use of emergency power," dealing a significant legal blow to the administration. Despite the ruling, the tariffs remain in effect, with the possibility of escalation to the Supreme Court.

Trump framed the issue in stark terms during remarks at the WHITE House, warning that unfavorable rulings could lead to foreign nations exploiting anti-American tariffs—a scenario he equated with "the destruction of the U.S. economy." The 7-4 appellate decision reinforced a prior New York trade court ruling, with judges noting Congress never intended to grant "unlimited authority to impose tariffs."
