GOP Breathes Secret Sigh of Relief as Courts Put Brakes on Trump Tariffs
- On Wednesday, a federal trade court blocked the majority of tariffs implemented since Trump's administration began, stopping recent significant increases in tariffs.

- An appeals court briefly reinstated some tariffs on Thursday, while markets showed mixed reactions with Asian stocks declining and European markets rising amid ongoing uncertainty.
- Derren Nathan noted, “the only certainty is uncertainty,” reflecting broad investor unease as businesses face unclear tariff futures and mounting costs impacting pricing decisions.
- These court actions suggest a protracted legal battle ahead that could reach the Supreme Court, likely prolonging market volatility and complicating trade policy resolutions.
