US appeals court pauses ruling against Trump's 10% global tariffs
The stay lets the government keep collecting 10% tariffs while it appeals a ruling that found the levies unlawful.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit temporarily paused a ruling that declared President Donald Trump's 10% global tariffs unlawful, issuing an administrative stay while the government appeals.
- Importers will continue paying the 10% tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for now, as the administration's legal appeal proceeds through the courts.
- The Justice Department argued that invalidating the tariffs would undermine Trump's economic agenda and interfere with trade negotiations, while government lawyers warned the ruling could spur thousands of additional lawsuits from importers.
- Sara Albrecht, CEO of the Liberty Justice Center, said the pause "creates more uncertainty for American small businesses" already absorbing tariff costs and fighting to recover their money.
- Authorities are currently processing $35.5 billion in refunds for an earlier round of tariffs the Supreme Court struck down, out of approximately $166 billion that importers previously paid.
