US President Donald Trump declared today that "ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT," defying a recent 7-4 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which deemed most of his tariffs illegal. Trump criticized the court as "highly partisan" and warned that eliminating the tariffs would lead to a "total disaster for the Country."

In his statement, Trump insisted that tariffs are "the best tool" for supporting American workers and manufacturers. He vowed to escalate the legal battle to the Supreme Court, asserting that his administration is committed to "Make America Rich, Strong, and Powerful Again." The White House supported Trump's stance, stating, "The President’s tariffs remain in effect, and we look forward to ultimate victory on this matter."

This ruling follows ongoing tensions surrounding tariffs, which have been a cornerstone of Trump’s economic policy since his presidency began. The court's decision is set to impact trade dynamics significantly, with implications for both domestic and international markets. As previously reported, the federal court ruling impacts trade agreements and economic relationships, raising concerns among various sectors.

Trump's commitment to maintaining tariffs comes amid a complex legal landscape, with the potential for further judicial challenges. The ongoing situation could affect millions of American workers and businesses as the administration prepares for a protracted legal battle.
