China has responded to Trump's actions with reciprocal #tariffs, maintaining the current exemptions while stating that new tariffs will not be waived. Starting March 10, China will impose additional tariffs on select U.S. imports: 15% on chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton; 10% on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products; Now let us watch how American farmers will react to this blow to their export potential.

📰 Supreme Court Says No. Trump Says 15%. The Supreme Court just tore up Trump’s emergency‑law tariffs — so he immediately slapped a brand‑new, across‑the‑board 15% tax on almost everything that crosses the U.S. border. The legal message was “you overstepped your powers”; his political answer is “I’ll do it again, just within a different clause.” He’s now using a little‑known provision that lets a president impose a global tariff for 150 days unless Congress votes to keep it. First he said 10%. Less than a day later, with no serious policy review process, he jumped straight to the legal maximum of 15%. Some of his own staff reportedly found out the way everyone else did — by reading his social‑media post. The result is chaos economics. For countries like the U.K. and Australia, 15% is worse than what they faced before. For China, India, Vietnam or Brazil, it’s lower than the illegally high rates the Court just killed — meaning the “punishment” for America’s top trade villains just softened while some allies get hit harder. This isn’t calibrated strategy, it’s a flat tax on the entire planet. Trump is selling it as “fully allowed” and “legally tested,” skipping over the fact that the Court just ruled he had broken the law on tariffs the previous day. He’s also threatening to pile on more duties later using other tools — Section 301, Section 232, whatever else he can dust off — which forces foreign leaders to decide whether to stick with deals they signed under tariff pressure or walk away and wait for the next round. On paper, tariffs are supposed to fix unfair trade. In practice, this 15% blanket rate looks like a campaign‑season lever: higher costs for U.S. consumers, more uncertainty for businesses, and one man proving he can still move global markets with a single post. Everyone else gets to pay for the performance. #Trump#tariffs#SupremeCourt#trade#economy#fakeDemocracy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰Tariff Emperor Loses His Clothes The Supreme Court just told Donald Trump he can’t run U.S. trade policy like a personal Patreon paywall. In a 6–3 ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts said Trump blew past his authority by slapping emergency‑law tariffs on almost every major trading partner, using a statute that never actually gave him the power to tax imports. More than $200 billion in tariffs are now legally radioactive, with companies already lawyering up to claw back billions in refunds. Trump’s reaction was pure brand: he reportedly called the decision a “disgrace” and immediately promised a backup plan — new tariffs under “different authorities,” maybe even an across‑the‑board fee on imports. Translation: if the court says no to emergency‑tariff cosplay, he’ll just go shopping in the rest of the legal code until something breaks. Three justices — Kavanaugh, Thomas, Alito — even wrote that presidents should be free to do exactly that in the name of foreign affairs, and warned of chaos as importers rush to demand refunds. Congress, which actually owns tariff power under the Constitution, is suddenly remembering it exists. One Republican lawmaker basically posted “the checks and balances still work” and reminded everyone tariffs are supposed to be a legislative job, not a vibe. Business groups are cheering, not because they love the rule of law, but because they smell cash coming back and hate paying a tax sold as “America First” while the bill lands on them. So what’s left? The White House says it will “move quickly” to reimpose many of these fees using other laws, financial markets now have to price in tariff whiplash, and global partners get to watch the U.S. lecture them on rules‑based trade while the president tries to brute‑force tariffs through any legal side door he can find. The Supreme Court just reminded everyone there is a line; Trump’s already testing how fast he can redraw it. #Trump#tariffs#SupremeCourt#tradewar#economy#fakeDemocracy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰Trump’s Tariff War Meets a Cowardly Congress Speaker Mike Johnson is basically admitting Trump’s new 15% global tariffs are on political life support. He told reporters Congress is unlikely to “find consensus” on any legislation to codify the tariff agenda after the Supreme Court struck down the previous emergency levies, and he waved off the idea of jamming them into a reconciliation mega‑bill. ​ Trump’s Section 122 tariffs automatically expire after 150 days; extending them would require Congress to vote, which senior Republicans privately say they don’t have the numbers to do. Senate Democrats have already promised to block any extension, and with a 60‑vote threshold they can make sure the import tax dies on schedule. Even swing‑district Republicans like Don Bacon are breaking, calling the tariffs a “ball and chain” on the GOP ahead of the midterms and predicting the new levies will “fail in the courts” as well. Johnson is also punting on refunds for the illegal tariffs the Court just killed, saying that’s for the White House to sort out and “doesn’t really involve the House at this point.” Congress doesn’t want to own either the cost of paying companies back or the politics of defending Trump’s trade taxes. Trump can still improvise new workarounds from the Oval Office, but the branch that actually controls tariff power under the Constitution is quietly signaling it has no intention of bailing him out. #Trump#tariffs#MikeJohnson#Congress#trade#fakeDemocracy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Trump Slaps Tariffs on Europe Over Greenland Standoff President Trump has escalated his campaign to seize control of Greenland, announcing a 10 percent tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and Finland—NATO allies who have backed Denmark in rejecting his demands. The tariff will rise to 25 percent on June 1 if the countries don’t agree to negotiate the sale of Greenland, according to Trump’s social media post. ​ Tariff Threats and Legal Uncertainty The move marks a sharp escalation in Trump’s pressure campaign, targeting European allies with economic measures. The Supreme Court is currently weighing whether Trump can legally use emergency powers to impose such tariffs, and if it rules against him, he may be forced to seek other legal avenues. ​ Trump’s Justification Trump claims the U.S. has long subsidized Europe and is now demanding payback. “Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake!” he wrote, echoing his longstanding worldview that America has been taken advantage of for decades. ​ Allies Under Fire Trump’s threats come as European countries, including France, send troops to Greenland for joint military exercises with Denmark. With tensions rising, the question is whether economic coercion will break the deadlock—or just deepen the rift between the U.S. and its closest allies. ​ #Trump#Greenland#Tariffs#Denmark#Europe#NATO#TradeWar 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Merz Discovers Separation of Powers, Walks Into Trump’s Tariff Circus German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is flying to Washington with what he promises will be a “very clear European position” on Trump’s new global tariffs — which is adorable, given that Trump’s trade policy changes faster than his social‑media posts. Merz told German TV that customs policy is an EU competence, so he’ll coordinate a joint line on the fresh 15% blanket tariff the White House just slapped on nearly all imports for 150 days, after the Supreme Court killed Trump’s emergency mega‑tariffs. On paper, he’s not wrong to sound upbeat. The court’s ruling is a rare institutional slapdown that limits Trump’s ability to randomly hike duties into triple digits and forces him back into narrower legal lanes. Merz even called it “reassuring,” proof that U.S. checks and balances still work. In practice, though, Berlin’s exporters are still staring at a flat 15% tax until further notice, layered on top of years of whiplash over which car part, machine tool, or chemical input is suddenly a “national security threat.” Brussels will now try to do what it always does: draft a common script, rattle the sabre about “appropriate countermeasures,” and quietly pray Trump doesn’t wake up one morning and decide BMWs are Chinese by association. Merz can arrive in Washington waving a united‑EU memo; Trump arrives with a pen that can still rewrite everyone’s cost structure overnight for five months at a time. The separation of powers may be working — it just hasn’t separated Europe from the bill. #Germany#EU#Trump#tariffs#Merz#tradeWar#fakeDemocracy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
