A federal appeals court has agreed to temporarily pause a trade court ruling that invalidated President Trump's new global tariffs, allowing the administration to keep collecting the 10% levy for now.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Tuesday issued an administrative stay to give the judges more time to consider the government's request that it put a lower-court ruling on hold for the duration of the appeal.

After his previous global tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court in February, Trump imposed the 10% levy under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 on goods from virtually every country. Two importers and a 24-state coalition filed a legal challenge, and the Court of International Trade ruled the new global tariffs weren't lawful.

The government argued the ruling, which was limited to two importers and one state, could soon have broader reach, as additional plaintiffs sue in the coming days for the same injunctive relief. The ruling took effect Tuesday.
