\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe POTUS also weighed in on the Supreme Court’s decision, calling it a “disgrace.”\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

After a few delays, the United States Supreme Court finally announced its ruling on the highly debated Trump-tariff case. Unfortunately for the US President, the Court ruled them illegal, rejecting their usage of emergency powers to impose trade duties.<\/p>\n

As reported by Walter Bloomberg, the import tariffs from countries like Canada, China, Mexico, and the EU were projected to raise $1.5 trillion over the next decade.<\/p>\n

SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN TRUMP\u2019S GLOBAL TARIFFS<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump\u2019s global tariffs are illegal, rejecting his use of emergency powers to impose trade duties.<\/p>\n

Trump was quick to lash out against the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, calling it a \u201cdisgrace.\u201d Additionally, he said his administration has a backup plan.<\/p>\n

Further reports on the matter, including trade expert Lawrence Herman\u2019s opinion, indicated that the trade tensions won\u2019t end with the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling. He reportedly added<\/a> that the tariffs are \u201chere to stay in one form or another,\u201d and warned that the US-Canada trade relationship has already been \u201cshattered.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the more recent development on the matter as of press time, Trump seemed to have threatened the US legal system, saying<\/a> he had to do something about the courts.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has had a long and mostly painful history with Trump\u2019s tariff impositions. It plunged last April when the first wave was announced and has reacted negatively to almost all threats from the POTUS to other countries.<\/p>\n
