The US appeals court allows Trump tariffs to remain in effect, just a day after a lower court ruled against them. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted a temporary stay, pausing the previous ruling that deemed the tariffs unlawful.
Legal Battle Over Trump’s Tariffs
On May 28, 2025, the US Court of International Trade ruled that Trump exceeded his authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The court stated that trade deficits do not qualify as an emergency, making the tariffs invalid.
However, the Trump administration appealed, arguing that the tariffs are crucial for national security and economic stability. The appeals court’s decision allows the tariffs to stay in effect while the case moves forward.
Economic and Political Reactions
The ruling has sparked mixed reactions. While Trump supporters see it as a win for economic policy, critics argue that the tariffs increase costs for businesses and consumers.
Financial markets responded cautiously, with analysts predicting continued uncertainty as the legal battle unfolds.
What’s Next for Trump’s Tariffs?
The appeals court has set a briefing schedule through June 9, after which a final decision will be made. If the ruling is upheld, the case may proceed to the Supreme Court for further review.
Final Thoughts
The US appeals court allows Trump tariffs to remain in effect, keeping the trade policy debate alive. As legal challenges continue, the future of US tariffs remains uncertain.
