A federal appeals court has granted the Trump administration's request to pause last week's ruling by the Court of International Trade declaring Trump's latest global tariffs unlawful.
The appeals court agreed to stay last week's trade court decision and granted the administration a temporary but immediate stay "until further notice" while it considers the administration's appeal of that ruling.
The stay means that the collection of those 10% import tariffs, which President Donald Trump imposed in February under Section 122, will continue.
The U.S. Court of International Trade late Thursday in a 2-to-1 decision said that although Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 gives the president some of Congress' powers to collect taxes and duties, he didn't have the authority to impose those new global tariffs. Trump put the 10% tariffs in place after the Supreme Court struck down his initial set of so-called reciprocal tariffs, which applied broadly to imports from around the world.
That court called Trump's proclamation about Section 122 tariffs "invalid," and said the levies it imposed were "unauthorized by law."
