If this happens, this will be the next step of the American administration, which aims to change the court's decision unfavorable for the White House.
Let's remind. Yesterday, in a special statement, the US Department of Justice announced that the Court's decision for international trade “It hurt government diplomacy and violated the sole power of President Donald Trump in the field of foreign affairs“.
However, such a statement cannot change the decisions unfavorable for Donald Trump. This can be done by a court, and more precisely, the US Court of Appeal, which will look at this case and has the power to suspend the decision, while the administration will be able to bring a formal appeal.
What if he doesn't do it? On, according to the White House, there is also a way in the form of a US Supreme Court.

“In the absence of even temporary suspension of the decision, the White House is planning to apply to the Supreme Court tomorrow,” the administration said.
Donald Trump blocked by the court
The American Court for International Trade blocked the entry into force of most duties announced by the US President Donald Trump. According to the Court, he exceeded his rights by imposing customs tariffs to other countries on the basis of the Act on international extraordinary economic rights.
The Federal Court based in New York on Wednesday local time stated that Under the US Constitution, only Congress has the right to regulate trade with other countries.
By announcing customs duties, Trump referred to the law of 1977. However, the three -member judge panel noted that it does not indicate tariffs as a tool with which the president can protect the US against economic threats.
“The court does not speak about the legitimacy or probable effectiveness of the president's use of customs tariffs as a lever (trade)” – said the judge.

“Such use is unacceptable, not because it is unreasonable or ineffective, but because (law) does not allow it” – emphasized in the justification of the decision.
Thus, the court annulled with the immediate effect of Trump's ordinance in the case of duties, which he announced from swearing in to the office in January. The verdict does not include some industry tariffs that the US president issued on another legal basis on imported cars, steel and aluminum, using another statute.
