US President Donald Trump on Thursday won a temporary legal relief as a federal appeals court granted a stay, allowing his tariff policy to remain in effect for now. The move will allow the administration to keep collecting the import taxes for now, challenging a trade court ruling that had invalidated most of the tariffs imposed by Trump.
The reprieve comes just a day after the US Court of International Trade had delivered a major blow to Trump’s strategy, declaring that many of the tariffs enacted under his administration were unlawful. The court found that Trump had exceeded the authority granted to the executive branch, & the judgement drew ire of Trump officials who called it an example of judicial overreach, The Guardian reported.
On Thursday, the Trump administration filed for “emergency relief” from the ruling “to avoid the irreparable national-security and economic harms at stake”.
The stay, issued by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit, halts enforcement of the earlier ruling & allows the administration to pursue its appeal without immediately unwinding the tariffs. Before Thursday’s decision, the White House had been ordered to cease enforcing the affected tariffs within 10 days a deadline that now no longer applies while the legal process unfolds.#Write2Earn $TRUMP
