US Appeals Court Allows Trump Tariffs to Continue

The U.S. International Trade Court ruled on Wednesday to halt the global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, including the "Day of Liberation" tariffs announced on April 2, ordering the White House to revoke them within ten days. However, the Trump administration quickly appealed, and the U.S. Federal Circuit Court announced on Thursday that it would temporarily restore Trump's tariff measures during the appeal process.
Reports indicate that a panel of three judges in New York's U.S. International Trade Court determined on the 28th that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing comprehensive tariffs on countries that export more to the U.S. than they import. The ruling stated that the U.S. Constitution grants Congress exclusive authority over foreign trade, which cannot be superseded by the President's emergency powers invoked for economic protection.
Following the ruling, the White House promptly filed an appeal and indicated in court documents submitted on Thursday morning that if the federal appeals court fails to swiftly suspend the ruling, it would seek "emergency relief" from the Supreme Court. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted the White House's request, temporarily staying the ruling of the U.S. International Trade Court, meaning that Trump's tariff measures would be temporarily restored during the appeals process.
This decision marks a temporary victory for the Trump administration, but the court provided no opinions or reasons, only directing the plaintiffs and the Trump administration to respond by June 5 and June 9, respectively.
