On Tuesday, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted a temporary stay on a ruling from the Court of International Trade that had found President Donald Trump's 10% global tariff unlawful. This decision allows the tariffs to remain in place while the appeals process unfolds. The tariffs were initially imposed after the Supreme Court struck down a broader set of tariffs that Trump had justified under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Following that ruling, Trump invoked Section 122 of the US Trade Act of 1974, allowing the imposition of a temporary tariff to address significant balance-of-payments deficits. However, the court noted that such a deficit does not currently exist, as it is distinct from a trade deficit. The administration argues that removing the tariffs prematurely could lead to economic disruption due to an influx of imports. Businesses and the state of Washington have a week to oppose the stay on the lower court's decision.
