Trump never expected that he would be held back by his own people, and his tariff policy was urgently halted. Now the show is about to get interesting!
Trump bypassed Congress and forcibly introduced reciprocal tariffs. After a tense legal battle, he was finally ruled by the court to have overstepped his authority and the tariffs were quickly halted. Trump's tariff policy has lost its leverage since then. It has been in effect for nearly two months, yet no substantial trade agreement has been reached.
In order to prevent the court from halting the tariffs, the senior members of Trump's cabinet tried every means to persuade them, saying that halting the tariffs at this moment would overturn the negotiation landscape between China and the US, causing Trump great "embarrassment".
However, in the eyes of others, Trump's announcement of a national emergency and the attempt to trigger economic turmoil through reciprocal tariffs was already embarrassing enough. This farce should come to an end.
Needless to say, Trump will be furious. But what he can do might just be venting his anger on social media. Overturning the court's ruling is not something that can be achieved overnight.
