The court’s move came just hours after the US Court of International Trade blocked the tariffs, ruling that Trump had overstepped his authority.
A US federal appeal court has temporarily halted a lower-court ruling against President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs, as well as a separate set of fentanyl-related levies on China, Mexico, and Canada.
“The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers,” the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington said in its order on Thursday afternoon.
