00:00We continue with more information from the United States, where the Supreme Court has deprived the Trump administration of its
00:06most used weapon of blackmail against the world,
00:08the indiscriminate imposition of tariffs throughout the International Emergency Powers Act, or corresponded in the U.S.
00:16Henry Camelo has all the details.
00:19While the United States Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration by declaring illegal the imposition of tariffs through the
00:28use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
00:32Chief Justice Roberts wrote the decision that basically stated that Trump was exceeding his authority.
00:42The decision does not affect all tariffs imposed by Trump administration, as it maintains those imposed on steel and aluminum
00:50through separate laws.
00:52However, the court ruling voids tariffs in two categories.
00:57One, reciprocal tariffs range from 34% for China to a base limit of up to 10% for the
01:06rest of the world.
01:07The other, the 25% tariffs that Trump imposed on some products from Canada, China, and Mexico due to their
01:17alleged inability to stop the flow of fentanyl.
01:21According to the Treasury Department data, by December, $133 billion have been collected in tariffs under the International Emergency Economic
01:31Powers Act.
01:32The court ruling enraged President Trump, who launched harsh criticism against the Supreme Court.
01:39What a shame, having to do with voting in particular, when in fact they're just being fools and lapdogs for
01:47the rhinos and the radical left Democrats,
01:49and not that this should have anything at all to do with it.
01:53They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.
01:56And he promised to look for other ways to implement the collection of tariffs.
02:03We have alternatives, great alternatives.
02:06Could be more money, we'll take in more money, and we'll be a lot stronger for it.
02:10We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, we'll continue to do so.
02:14Trump reacted immediately to that by stating that he would use other means in order to impose these tariffs,
02:25and immediately stating that he now is imposing 10% tariffs across the board.
02:31For analyst Steve Elner, the Supreme Court's decision sets a solid precedent for the balance of power in the United
02:41States.
02:41Regardless of whether he continues to attempt to use the threat of tariffs for political purposes,
02:50the mere fact that the Supreme Court, that's the Supreme Court,
02:55the mere fact that they nulled a decision of the Trump administration in the area of tariffs,
03:01I think will encourage countries to attempt to defend their national sovereignty.
03:13In other words, Trump has really violated the national sovereignty of other countries using the threat of tariffs.
03:19Now the governors of Illinois and California are demanding checks from the Trump administration
03:25for over $1,000 for families in those states to cover the cost they incur in their homes due to
03:34the tariffs.
