US EditionTariff fight escalates as Trump appeals second court loss
- On Monday, the Trump administration submitted a fresh appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking to halt a second judicial decision that blocked its reciprocal tariffs.
- This appeal follows earlier rulings that struck down tariffs enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with courts limiting Trump's authority under that law.
- The tariffs, introduced on April 2 as a 10% baseline against most trading partners and called 'Liberation Day,' represent a signature policy of Trump's second term central to his trade negotiation strategy.
- The administration argues the tariffs create a "credible threat" essential for sensitive negotiations "currently at a delicate juncture," while economists like William Cline view these tariffs mainly as negotiating tactics rather than lasting policy.
- If upheld, the court rulings could undermine the President's tariff authority and disrupt ongoing trade talks, prompting the White House to consider escalating the fight to the Supreme Court.
