US court pauses decision blocking Trump's 10 percent global tariff ...
A coalition of 24 states have argued that Trump’s latest tariffs do not meet the standards of 1974 Trade Act.A federal appeals court in the United States has temporarily paused a lower court decision to block President Donald Trump’s 10 percent global tariff.On Tuesday, a US federal appeals court issued a short-term administrative stay as the court case continues.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemslist 1 of 3Africa’s richest man plans new Mombasa oil refinery: Why this matterslist 2 of 3EBay rejects GameStop’s $56bn bid as ‘neither credible nor attractive’list 3 of 3US faces rising costs with Iran war driving energy prices, inflation higherend of listAt stake is whether the tariff issued under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act falls within the scope of Trump’s presidential authority.Trump imposed the sweeping 10 percent import tax in January, after the Supreme Court struck down another set of far-reaching tariffs that the president justified using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).In that case, the Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA does not authorise the president to impose blanket tariffs, as Trump had argued.Similar questions have arisen about Trump’s new tariff policy. On Friday, a panel at the US Court of International Trade ruled two to one that Trump had failed to meet the criteria under Section 122 to apply the new tariffs.“The President’s Proclamation fails to assert that those required conditions have been satisfied,” the lower-court ruling asserts.It added that the proclamation “is invalid, and the tariffs imposed on Plaintiffs are unauthorized by law”.Tuesday’s appeals court decision paused that ruling temporarily, to allow the White House time to respond.But the plaintiffs — a coalition of 24 states — have argued that Trump’s tariff campaign is an abuse of executive power. They have also pointed to the downstream effects, as consumers shoulder the costs of the added taxes.“It’s American consumers and businesses that have ultimately paid for the president’s illegal tariff campaign,” Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown said in a statement following Friday’s ruling.A consumer price index report issued on Tuesday suggested that Trump’s tariff campaign has been reflected in a spike in consumer good costs.Prices for both apparel and electronics prices rose by 0.6 percent, while the cost of toys and furniture leapt higher by 0.8 percent.The legal challenge to the Section 122 tariffs is only one hurdle Trump’s tax policy...
Trump's 10% Global Tariffs Struck Down by US Trade Court: Section 122 ...
NewsWorldUS NewsTrump’s ‘sidestep’ trade strategy hit by new court ruling: Why his 10% global tariffs were just blocked in 2-1 decision The case could move to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and possibly return to the Supreme Court. 2 min readMay 8, 2026 05:30 AM IST First published on: May 8, 2026 at 05:29 AM IST US President Donald Trump speaks. (Photo: AP) A US federal court has ruled against new global tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, finding they were not authorised under the law, according to Associated Press (AP). A split three-judge panel of the US Court of International Trade ruled 2-1 that the 10 per cent tariffs were illegal after small businesses challenged them.The majority said the tariffs were “invalid” and “unauthorised by law”, adding that the president had gone beyond the powers granted by Congress. One judge disagreed, saying the law gives the president more flexibility on tariffs. The tariffs were introduced under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 after the US Supreme Court in February struck down broader tariffs imposed earlier. The administration is expected to appeal the decision. The case could move to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and possibly return to the Supreme Court.Story continues below this ad The ruling applies directly to the plaintiffs in the case the state of Washington and two companies, Burlap & Barrel and Basic Fun!. “It’s not clear” if other businesses must continue paying the tariffs, AP quoted Jeffrey Schwab of the Liberty Justice Center, which represented the companies, as saying. “We fought back today and we won,” AP quoted Basic Fun!
