The media reported on the doubts of the US Supreme Court about the legality of Trump's duties

The US Supreme Court was skeptical about the legality of the grounds for the imposition of customs duties by the administration of US President Donald Trump. This was reported on November 5 by The Washington Post (WP).

"On Wednesday, the Supreme Court seemed skeptical of the claim that President Donald Trump has the legal authority to impose duties on a wide range of goods from almost all countries, which made it clear that the judges could reverse or sharply limit the administration's landmark economic policies," the publication says.

It is clarified that the judges subjected the lawyer of the US presidential administration to a "harsh interrogation" during the proceedings for more than two and a half hours.

Marketable: The split over Trump's trade policy is intensifying in the United States

Americans themselves are beginning to suffer from duties for other countries.

Earlier, on October 10, Trump announced the readiness of the United States to impose increased duties on goods from China in response to Beijing's decision to restrict exports of rare earths. According to the American leader, China is "holding the world hostage" by creating a monopoly on the market of magnets and other metals. He promised to take financial measures.

On October 8, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, said that the openness of the global economy had suffered greatly due to US import duties, but there had not yet been a slide into a global trade war. According to her forecasts, global public debt will exceed the volume of the entire global economy in 2029.

On October 9, Trump noted the importance of duties to strengthen the US position. According to the American leader, thanks to the tariffs imposed, he managed to save "millions of lives" of citizens.
