Decision temporarily halts the federal trade court ruling that found the levies illegal
A U.S. federal appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to continue collecting tariffs under an emergency powers law for now, as his administration fights an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies.
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted the emergency motion from the Trump administration that argued theย pause is “critical for the country’s national security.”
The appeals court temporarily halted the order from a federal trade court issued a day before.
Trump is facing several lawsuits arguing that the “Liberation Day” tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country’s trade policy dependent on his whims.
