Michael Popok: 作为一名法律分析师，我认为特朗普在关税问题上遭遇了重大挫折。美国国际贸易法院一致裁定，特朗普总统无权单方面对进口商品征收关税，这一裁决直接挑战了他的贸易政策。特朗普政府声称其有权根据《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)征收关税，但法院认为当前的情况并不符合该法案所规定的国家紧急状态。这意味着总统不能绕过国会，随意实施关税。我认为，这一裁决强调了美国宪法规定的权力制衡原则，并限制了总统在贸易领域的权力。特朗普政府已经对此裁决提起了上诉，案件将移交至联邦巡回法院。如果上诉失败，特朗普可能会寻求最高法院的复审。然而，鉴于下级法院的明确裁决，以及对总统权力的宪法限制，我认为特朗普在最高法院胜诉的机会渺茫。此外，国际社会已经普遍认识到特朗普在贸易谈判中经常退缩，这进一步削弱了他的谈判地位。总的来说，我认为这一事件对特朗普的贸易政策是一个重大打击，并可能促使他重新评估其贸易策略。

A US court blocked Trump's retaliatory tariff policy, ruling that he lacks the constitutional authority to impose such tariffs. This decision is a significant legal setback for Trump, particularly given that he chose the court himself. The ruling highlights the limitations of presidential power regarding tariffs.

Court of International Trade blocked Trump's tariff policy as unconstitutional
Trump handpicked the court
Decision was unanimous across Obama, Reagan, and Trump appointees
Tariffs lacked constitutional basis and violated the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPA)

Shownotes Transcript

While foreign governments have adopted a TACO strategy banking on Trump chickening out in their trade negotiations with him, Trump has now been forced to appeal his hand picked court, the US Court of International Trade, who just blocked his entire retaliatory tariff policy as unconstitutional. Michael Popok explains what specialty appeals court gets the case next, and why the Supreme Court may not bail him out this time.
