Donald Trump celebrated the approval of his tariffs and criticized judges for "serious damage to the United States."

US President Donald Trump celebrated the decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which suspended a ruling blocking a large portion of their reciprocal tariffs . At the same time, he lashed out at the judges who signed that ruling, accusing them of causing “ grave harm ” to the country and acting with political motivations. “It was a horrible decision, but the full court of eleven judges righted the wrong,” the president wrote on his Truth Social network.

The original ruling, issued by the Court of International Trade (CIT), had questioned the legality of the reciprocal tariffs implemented by Trump. According to that court, the president had exceeded his authority by imposing them without congressional approval. The judges argued that the measure violated the principle of separation of powers by assuming legislative powers.

Donald Trump responded harshly and called for the Supreme Court to intervene. "We hope they act swiftly and decisively," he said. Meanwhile, the stay issued by the Court of Appeals is temporary, pending a final ruling.

Since his first term, Trump has promoted an aggressive tariff policy as a strategy to protect domestic production and pressure his trading partners. “We've raised trillions of dollars thanks to these tariffs. They're a vital tool for the United States to remain a rich, prosperous, and strong country,” he stated.

In addition to attacking the judges, the president questioned the judgment of those who promoted the ruling. "How is it possible that they cause such grave damage to the country? Is it just hatred for Trump?" he asked defiantly.

Donald Trump also directed his criticism at Leonard Leo , a former key advisor during his first term and a leading figure in the Federalist Society, the conservative group that helped him select judges. “I was new to Washington and was told to lean on the Federalist Society. I did, but then I realized they were dominated by a real scoundrel,” he said.

The president warned that forcing Congress to approve every tariff measure would leave the executive branch with no room for maneuver. "We would have hundreds of politicians discussing for weeks what needs to be done to curb other countries' trade abuses. That would destroy presidential power," he said.

The case remains before the courts. The White House maintains that the reciprocal tariffs are not only legal, but are part of a core trade strategy for the current administration.
