A federal appeals court on Thursday granted the Trump administration’s request to temporarily reinstate most of Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, pausing a lower court ruling that had struck them down.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit sided with the administration while the legal appeal plays out, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect for now. Trump officials had warned they would seek emergency relief from the Supreme Court as early as Friday if the ruling wasn't put on hold.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said the administration will keep pushing tariffs, even if courts rule against them. He stressed that losing legal battles won’t stop the government from using other methods to maintain trade protections and defend U.S. interests.
Previously, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Donald Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing some of the most sweeping tariffs in U.S. history, effectively blocking them. Senior Trump officials dismissed the decision as a temporary setback, expressing confidence it would be reversed on appeal. They also suggested the administration had other legal tools to keep major parts of the tariff plan in place during the ongoing court battle.
