Trump's global tariffs are temporarily reinstated, after a court agreed to pause a ruling blocking the sweeping trade levies while it considers the White House's appeal. Earlier, the Trump administration threatened to go to the Supreme Court on Friday if it was unable to block the tariffs ruling. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says "we will win this battle in court" and the administration is working to "tackle rogue judges". The reinstatement comes after a federal court blocked most of Trump's sweeping tariffs after three judges ruled Trump overstepped his authority, in a major blow to his economic policies
A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to continue collecting tariffs under an emergency powers law for now, as his administration appeals an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies.
A temporary pause has been put on a lower-court ruling that blocked most of Trump's tariffs last night. A ruling by the US Court of International Trade found that the President did not have the unilateral authority to issue tariffs for nearly every country. On Wednesday night, three federal court judges blocked his global tariffs as result. But the Trump administration told the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit it would seek “emergency relief” from the Supreme Court as early as Friday if the ruling was not quickly paused.
