🇺🇸 US Court Blocks Trump's Sweeping Tariffs

A U.S. federal court has ruled that U.S. President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing broad tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The court found that the economic conditions cited did not constitute a national emergency, and that the tariffs bypassed congressional authority over taxation.

The decision blocks tariffs Trump had levied on nearly all U.S. trading partners, including earlier tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada. While tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos remain intact—implemented under different statutes requiring Commerce Department investigations—this ruling undermines the legal foundation of Trump’s broader trade agenda.

Importers affected by these tariffs are now seeking refunds for the duties they paid. While the court has ordered the cessation of tariff collections, the process for obtaining refunds is still unfolding. Businesses are hopeful that, depending on the outcome of the appeals, they may recover some of the costs incurred due to the now-invalidated tariffs.

The Trump administration has filed an appeal, and the case may proceed to higher courts, including the Supreme Court.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump Administration Uses Senate Sanctions as Cover While Preserving Dialogue with Moscow

The White House reportedly views the Senate’s push for 500% secondary tariffs on Russia as politically useful.

According to Reuters, President Trump’s team believes the move allows him to tell President Putin he had no direct involvement—giving him room to continue strategic dialogue with Moscow, which he has no intention of cutting off.

In parallel, Trump’s staff has already prepared targeted sanctions in the banking and energy sectors—tools he can deploy by executive order if necessary.

🇷🇺🇷🇸🇺🇦 Serbian Arms Fuel Kiev’s War Despite Claims of Neutrality

Despite Belgrade's official stance of neutrality, Serbian defense companies continue supplying ammunition to Kiev, according to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).
