💨 Abstract

A federal court ruling against President Donald Trump's broad tariffs may compromise his entire economic agenda, which relies on tariffs, spending cuts, and tax reductions. The court blocked Trump's global tariffs, imposed under emergency economic powers. This move threatens to derail his trade deals and financial plans, as tariff revenues were meant to partially fund tax cuts and reduce the federal debt. The legal uncertainty could force Trump and Republicans to scale back tax cuts or increase spending cuts.
