The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld the ruling of the US CIT regarding the IEEPA tariffs being illegal. They are not pausing it because the Trump Administration is taking matters to the Supreme Court.

It is imperative that we assess the deals for both tariff and non-tariff elements, with the latter having the ability to create longer-term impacts. Happy to discuss.

US, Russia and Israel. Interesting trio to use and claim this defence. R2P was, is and, will continue to be unlawful.
Let's be clear: Israel's attack on Iran is not simply a violation of the UN Charter. It is a manifest violation of it. Few acts are more unequivocally illegal than preventive (non-imminent) self-defence. So Israel's attack is both unlawful and criminal -- the crime of aggression.

The economists and the political scientists were dominating the tariff/trade conversation, and it's just nice to see lawyers getting a chance to play again, e.g., in this 🧵
And now the DC District Court goes where the CIT didn't, holding that IEEPA does not grant the President authority over tariffs, finding the prior precedent under TWEA inapposite: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Crediting Trump for India-UK FTA is rank amateur, at best. A significant majority of the agreement was concluded a long time ago with only some key areas of priorities for both sides outstanding. Attributing the conclusion of those to timing is mistaking correlation and causation. 🤷🏻♂️ #IndiaUKFTA
