A day after the US Court of International Trade invalidated US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs and other duties, a federal appeals court on Thursday granted the Trump administration's request to temporarily pause the trade court's ruling.
The judgment issued Wednesday by the international trade court is "temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers," the appeals court said in its order.
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's reinstating of Trump's tariffs gives the administration some breathing room, local media reported on Thursday.
"Certainly the President is acting within his authority," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing Thursday. "All of the actions the President has taken rely on legal authorities that have already been granted to him by our nation's existing laws."
The judges at the international trade court ruled on Wednesday that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act Trump had invoked to enact tariffs did not "confer such unbounded authority" to presidents.
The block they imposed covered all of the retaliatory tariffs Trump issued in early April. They also barred the Trump administration from making any further modifications to the tariffs in question.
