US court blocks Trump's global tariffs
A US trade court has ruled against President Donald Trump's attempt to impose blanket global tariffs, stating he overstepped his authority in doing so. The decision, delivered by a three-judge panel at the Court of International Trade, marks a major setback for the Trump administration's aggressive trade strategy, which included unilateral taxes on foreign imports. The case centered on tariffs introduced in April on what Trump dubbed 'Liberation Day.' The measures imposed a 10 percent baseline tariff on imports from several countries and prompted a sharp reaction from financial markets. Trump defended the decision by citing a 'national emergency,' arguing that he did not require congressional approval. But the court disagreed, siding with five small American businesses that brought the lawsuit. The companies—ranging from wine distributors to musical instrument retailers—claimed the tariffs inflicted serious financial harm, threatening their survival. The Trump administration swiftly responded by filing an appeal, setting up the possibility of the case reaching the US Supreme Court. The decision drew praise from critics of the former president's trade policies. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield described the tariffs as 'unlawful, reckless and economically devastating.' Senator Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said the measures 'jacked up prices on groceries and cars, threatened shortages of essential goods, and wrecked supply chains for American businesses large and small.' Meanwhile, the White House issued a defiant statement, saying, 'It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency.' Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff, went further, calling the ruling a 'judicial coup' in a social media post. Kush Desai, a spokesperson for the administration, defended the tariffs by saying trade deficits had 'decimated American communities and left our workers behind.' The ruling comes amid broader shifts in US trade policy. Earlier this month, Washington and London finalized a bilateral agreement to lower tariffs on British cars and eliminate duties on UK steel and aluminum. It remains unclear how the court's decision will affect that deal. Market reaction was swift. The US dollar climbed and futures markets rallied after the ruling. Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at National Australia Bank, noted, 'The market is doing a kneejerk reaction… reversing a lot of the moves we've seen.'

Royal Decree Expected Soon to End Ordinary Parliamentary Session - Jordan News
Royal Decree Expected Soon to End Ordinary Parliamentary Session The Senate has concluded its first session by passing three draft laws: the Cooperative Law, the Virtual Assets Regulation Law, and the Penal Code Amendment Law, in addition to endorsing the Audit Bureau's 2023 report. اضافة اعلان The first ordinary session of the 20th Parliament is set to end on May 18, and a Royal Decree dissolving the session is expected in the coming days. The decision on whether to hold an extraordinary session remains dependent on internal and external developments. This came during a session held yesterday morning, chaired by Senate President Faisal Al-Fayez and attended by several members of the government team. Key Legislation Passed: 1. Cooperative Law The law establishes a fund within the Cooperative Institution to finance the cooperative sector and a dedicated institute to promote cooperative culture. It also strengthens the institution's role in supervising the sector and regulates foreign cooperative branches and unions. 2. Virtual Assets Regulation Law This law regulates virtual asset-related activities to protect users and assigns regulatory authority to the Securities Commission. Its objectives include overseeing virtual asset operations, ensuring compliance with international standards—particularly anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing—and striking a balance between innovation and financial stability. The Securities Commission will be responsible for issuing licenses, ensuring service providers meet legal requirements, and implementing oversight measures. 3. Penal Code Amendment Law This amendment aims to expand alternatives to custodial sentences, reintegrate convicts into society, and allow suspension of sentences even after final rulings. It also enables courts to postpone or allow installment payments of fines. The bill reflects a shift toward restorative justice and includes giving the sentence enforcement judge authority to collect fines under the Public Funds Collection Law. It aims to reduce prison overcrowding and prevent recidivism. Audit Bureau 2023 Report: The Senate approved the recommendations of its Finance and Economic Committee regarding the 2023 Audit Bureau report. Key points include: Outstanding amounts: JD 633 million in uncollected cases in the Ministry of Justice's enforcement departments. JD 719 million owed by Social Security subscribers. JD 281 million owed by municipalities and joint service councils. Recommendations: Amend the Public Funds Collection Law for more effective recovery. Activate property auctions one year after asset seizure. Improve budget accuracy as 177 treasury-funded projects spent less than 35% of their allocations, and 705 projects had budget reallocations. Form a joint committee from the Audit Bureau and Ministry of Finance to close advances periodically and manage medical exemptions and arrears sustainably. Concerning financial observations: JD 755 million in loans saw zero disbursement despite the Treasury incurring over JD 5 million in commitment fees on undrawn balances in 2023. Studies related to program financing agreements must be completed before signing. Weak governance in companies under Audit Bureau oversight highlights the need to institutionalize good governance systems. Municipal debt warning: The report noted a rise in municipal debt and a high ratio of current to capital spending. It recommended continuing funding for the ERP project, institutionalizing municipal audit work, allocating training resources, and improving receivables collection. These developments signal a significant legislative and oversight effort ahead of the expected royal decision to conclude the current parliamentary session.
