US court rules in favor of Trump tariffs—no immediate rollback
In a surprising legal decision, US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs have received court approval. On June 10, the US Court of Appeals ruled that the tariffs would remain in place, stating that they allow the president to preserve one of his key economic policies. For now, Trump’s tariffs are here to stay.
The US Court of Appeals issued the ruling, extending the temporary authorization of Trump’s tariffs. This decision followed a legal challenge from the White House after a federal trade court had previously blocked the tariffs.
The appeals court argued that concerns over ongoing trade negotiations outweigh the potential economic harm caused by Trump’s tariffs.
Earlier, the appeals court had reviewed the trade court’s determination that the president had exceeded his authority by threatening steeper tariffs on major US trading partners.
The ruling specifically applies to Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs and other duties enacted under his emergency powers. It does not affect Trump’s separate tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
Previously, the federal trade court had temporarily blocked Trump’s tariffs at the end of May after a lawsuit filed by several small businesses, which argued that the president lacked sufficient grounds to declare an economic emergency. The plaintiffs also stated that the tariffs were hurting their businesses. The White House promptly appealed the ruling, leading to this latest decision.
