Appeals court scrutinizes Trump’s emergency tariffs as deadline looms

WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 31 – The Federal Circuit panel questioned whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act authorizes tariffs, noting trade deficits do not justify emergency powers, amid ongoing legal challenges.

  • The en banc US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit hears oral arguments Thursday in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump, challenging 'Liberation Day' tariffs and questioning IEEPA's tariff authority.
  • On April 11, Montana citizens sued the U.S. over tariffs imposed under executive orders, with oral arguments scheduled for Thursday.
  • Circuit Judge Jimmie Reyna noted, `IEEPA doesn't even mention the word tariffs`, as appeals judges questioned IEEPA’s silence on tariff authority.
  • The en banc US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit will decide whether to lift the U.S. Court of International Trade stay, with judges questioning IEEPA’s tariff authority, and is not expected to rule Thursday.
  • The case is likely to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, where Trump’s future tariff powers may hinge on this appellate ruling.
