Trump tariffs reinstated by appeals court for now
- On May 29, 2025, a federal appeals court reinstated President Donald Trump's broad tariffs, originally implemented from April 2, which target a range of major trading partners such as China and the EU.
- The reinstatement came after lawsuits filed by small businesses and 12 Democratic Attorneys General challenged President Trump’s use of emergency economic authority, arguing that he had overstepped the legal powers granted to him under the act enacted in 1977.
- A day earlier, the Court of International Trade blocked the tariffs, determining that the power to levy tariffs lies exclusively with Congress and that the president's emergency powers do not extend to unlimited tariff imposition.
- The appeals court lifted the trade court’s injunction without providing an explanation, while White House spokesman Kush Desai stated that decisions on managing a national emergency should not be made by unelected judges.
- The ruling allows tariffs to continue temporarily amid ongoing appeals, creating legal uncertainty and maintaining concerns from economists about risks to U.S. Trade policy and the economy.
