“Trump Administration Seeks Appeal in Global Tariff Ruling”

The Trump administration sought a pause on a court ruling against its 10% global tariff while appealing the decision. The U.S. Court of International Trade recently deemed the temporary duties imposed by President Trump as unjustified under a 1970s trade law. However, the court only halted the tariffs for two private importers and the state of Washington, citing that Trump’s implementation of the tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 was deemed misguided. In February, Trump imposed the global tariff after the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated some tariffs he had imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Canadian exports compliant with CUSMA were exempt from the global tariff.
