The illegality of tariffs
The news that the White House did not expect jumped on Wednesday. A Federal Court of the United States has ordered to suspend most of Trump’s global tariffs by ensuring that it was overreach in its functions.
Justice has declared “illegal” that the measures announced in early April became skipping the Congress. The ruling fully affects the levies applied to China, Mexico and Canada that the American administration launched to combat the entry of fentanil and the arrival of migrants to the country.

The White House will resort to the decision
The first reaction of the White House was swift. Spokesman Kush Desai assured that he would present an appeal against the sentence, defending the need for taxes because commercial deficits have “created a national emergency that has decimated American communities“.
“It does not correspond to non -elected judges to decide how to adequately address a national emergency“He justified, before remembering that Donald Trump’s commitments are still in force.
“President Trump promised to prioritize the United States, and the administration is committed to using All the resources of the Executive Power to address this crisis and restore US greatness“He defended.

Back to the exit box
The Chinese government has not celebrated the paralysis of the tariffs of the United States because it considers that “there are no winners” of the commercial war. “China has repeatedly expressed its position on the matter of tariffs. There are no winners in a tariff or commercial war, “said the spokeswoman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, MAO NO.
Beijing believes that “Protectionism damages the interests of all parties“And” is unpopular. “A reaction that comes after the positive reaction of Chinese markets.

“A pretty resounding posture”
José Manuel Corrales, Professor of Economics and Business at the European University, explains to the HuffPost that the court has adopted “A rather resounding posture that annuls this tariff“. Despite the bad news for the White House, he considers that it can also be a new opportunity for Trump to continue with his usual speech.
“This decision can even come to Trump because it is an escape valve to say that the judges They are very evil and very little American and that have put hinders on the road“He explains.
For José Manuel Corrales, “what the judicial resolution says is what we all knew.” “This is not a competence of the Executive Power and where you have to count on the legislative power it has not been counted,” he defends.

The expert believes that his impression is that the measure of justice will serve the US administration to say that “the tariffs go wrong because They do not let him develop this developer to put all countries in painting”.
José Manuel Corrales highlights a US growth fact in the last quarter. “The reality is that the tariff war had already failed. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the economy had grown the interannual of GDP to 2.4% and, in the first quarter of 2025, has decreased to 0.3%. This is very serious, because three points have been lost in a single quarter“He adds.
The expert defends that “the damage to the global economy is already done” and is skeptical that Trump stops his project, because “he knows he is triumphing with little resistance.” “Who comes out in the medium and long term of this tariff war is China. To Europe the seams have been seen and there are elements that weaken its position“, emphasize.
