Following a federal appeals court ruling that deemed his trade tariffs illegal, Donald Trump has appealed to the US Supreme Court. The court’s decision last week centered on the “liberation day” border taxes implemented on most US imports, which the court found overstepped his presidential powers. Trump’s administration has requested an accelerated schedule, aiming for arguments by November and a ruling by year-end, as a defeat could significantly impact the US tariff rate and existing trade deals. The tariffs were implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, though this has been contested, and several companies have already reported negative effects of the tariffs, including a slump in sales.

According to former Senate leader Mitch McConnell, the current global climate under a second Trump presidency mirrors the dangerous period of the 1930s, primarily due to trade tariffs and foreign affairs.

Referencing the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill and the “America First” isolationist movement, McConnell expressed concern over the rising influence of nations like China, Russia, and North Korea, which he believes share a common antagonism towards the United States. Despite these criticisms, McConnell did not address the Trump administration’s potential moves towards authoritarianism, nor his own role in empowering Trump’s actions.
