⚖️ A U.S. trade court just dropped a bombshell: Trump-era tariffs, once wielded as “economic weapons,” have been ruled unlawful. The decision throws future trade negotiations into chaos—and leaves businesses scrambling. 🌍💼
Why This Matters Now
With the ruling under appeal, experts say the legal battle could drag on for months. Loyola University’s Prof. James Viator warns a fix within 90 days is “unlikely,” weakening U.S. leverage in global trade talks. Meanwhile, supply chains are stuck in limbo. 🚚❓
Businesses Bear the Brunt
Willamette University’s Prof. Yan Liang sums it up: “Uncertainty is the new tax.” Companies face rising costs, delayed investments, and logistical nightmares—think of it as a real-life version of ‘Among Us’ but with shipping containers. 📉💸
What’s Next?
While politicians debate, the ruling could reshape how future presidents use trade policies. For now, though, it’s a waiting game—and the clock is ticking louder than a TikTok countdown. ⏳✨
