Trump's reciprocal tariffs could be struck down as soon as this month - and the administration is warning of economic apocalypse
Briefly

President Trump’s administration has issued stern warnings about potential economic collapse due to a federal appeals court possibly ruling against its reciprocal tariffs. The court heard arguments challenging the tariffs under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, with judges showing skepticism towards the administration's claims. A decision is expected soon, potentially influencing the Supreme Court's involvement. This shift in the administration’s tone indicates mounting anxiety over the tariffs, which were pivotal in trade deals with the EU and Japan, although immediate financial transfers have not materialized yet.
The Trump administration warns of complete disaster for the U.S. economy if its reciprocal tariffs are struck down, showing great concern over an upcoming court ruling.
The court's deep skepticism during arguments regarding the tariffs' legal basis indicates possible unfavorable outcomes for the administration's legal positioning under IEEPA.
