Summary

In a fast moving breaking story, we have 2 major developments about Trump’s unconstitutional tariff policies: (1) All the judges of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals have issued an Administrative Stay of last night’s Court of International Trade ruling blocking Trump’s global retaliatory tariff policies, until it has time to hear the appeal; while (2) a different federal judge in DC has also ruled that Trump violated statutes and the constitution in imposing certain targeted tariffs on China. Michael Popok pulls it all together. Check out The Popok Firm: https://thepopokfirm.com Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!
