Court in United States overturns Trump's import tax decree
U.S. Appeals Court Reinstates Trump's Tariffs After Initial Block
In a sudden twist, a U.S. appeals court has temporarily reinstated the extensive tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, just one day after the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York had blocked them. The tariffs were aimed at pressuring trading partners, such as the European Union and China, into concessions.
The court of international trade ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing blanket duties on imported goods under a rarely used emergency law. The government was given ten days to issue new regulations in line with the court's order against the tariffs. In response, the Trump administration criticized the court, questioned its authority, and swiftly filed an appeal.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has since intervened, staying the order. The court is now reviewing the case, with both parties expected to file responses by June 5 and June 9, respectively. The legal wrangling covers almost all tariffs imposed since Trump's administration, including retaliatory duties announced in early April and tariffs on certain goods from Canada, Mexico, and China.
Experts predict that the legal challenges to Trump's tariffs could go as far as the Supreme Court, given the potential for a prolonged battle lasting more than a year.
