【Trump: No foreign country has opposed the US imposing tariffs, yet Americans are opposing】
On December 7, 2025, in Washington, US President Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform "Truth Social":
If foreign countries believe I don't have the right to impose tariffs, they would state it directly. But they haven't made any statements opposing it.
Lao Liu's supplementary information:
The US Court of Appeals ruled in August 2025 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 does not grant the US president the authority to impose import tariffs. The US Supreme Court must decide whether Trump has the right to use this law as a basis for imposing tariffs on goods from other countries. The final judgment must be made by June 2026, and the legal community in the United States generally believes the decision will be made before January 2026. Therefore, Trump and his team have recently been frequently pressuring the US Supreme Court.
