The Federal Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay this week of the U.S. Court of International Trade’s ruling against the president’s global 10 percent tariffs.
The trade court recently ruled that President Trump could not impose the tariff that he set in February, under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, after the Supreme Court ruled against the tariffs the administration imposed last year under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The Federal Circuit Court granted the administrative stay “while the court considers the motions for a stay pending appeal.”
