President Donald Trump’s plan to force Apple to make an iPhone in the United States was always inaccessible because it seems impossible to find such a great convenience to create a large number of Apple -selling iPhone units in Apple states. At the same time, gathering a supply chain in the United States to meet Apple relying on Apple in Asia can be a very difficult task for Apple. But that doesn’t matter anyway because Trump said he would impose on Apple (and other manufacturers, including Samsung), will probably disappear at least temporarily.
On Wednesday, the US court of international trade ruled that President Trump did not have the authority to impose taxes on other countries. The US Federal Trade Court said the US Constitution gives Congress a special authority to organize trade with other countries. The court added that these powers belonging to the Congress are not abolished by any emergency powers given to the president to protect the economy. The Trump administration quickly filed a notice of appeal.
The panel of three judges said it had not been commenting on whether he believed that the decision to use the president’s taxes as a benefit is a wise or effective step. Instead, the court said it could not allow the president to use taxes in such a way because the law does not allow it. Trump has said that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives them the authority to ignore the Congress and unilaterally declare revenue. However, this law is used when “extraordinary and extraordinary” risks during the national emergency.
Traditionally, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act has been used to restrict or freeze US enemies’ assets. Trump is the first person to first use the law as an excuse to seek revenue on some markets.
“The court does not pass on the wisdom or potential impression of using the president’s prices as a benefit. It is not irreparable use because it is unintentional or ineffective, but because the (federal law) does not allow it.”

A pair of litigation led to today’s decision. One was filed by 13 states and the other was filed by the non -Partisan Liberty Justice Center by the other five small US businesses. These small companies import goods from targeted markets and said that revenue will have a negative impact on their business.
“The judicial uprising is out of control,” said Stephen Miller, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the White House, while responding to the decisions announced by Trump’s executive orders and other judges announced. Leading the 13 states who tried the prices and the Ugon Attorney General Dan Ray Field, a Democrat. He has criticized Trump’s prices and today responded to the court’s decision, saying, “This decision confirms that our laws make a difference, and that trade decisions cannot be made on the president’s wishes.”
Overnight markets are reaching $ 6.99, or after hours, at $ 207.41, with Apple’s shares.
