President Donald Trump filed an emergency motion Thursday with the US Court of Appeals to stop a recent ruling that blocked his global tariffs.
A three-judge trade court panel ruled Wednesday that Trump did not have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose worldwide tariffs on April 2. These tariffs included a 30% tax on Chinese goods, 25% on some products from Mexico and Canada, and 10% on most imports from other countries.
Trump used the IEEPA to justify the tariffs, saying they were aimed at stopping fentanyl trafficking and pushing trade deals with other countries.
Despite the court’s ruling, the White House said three major trade deals are nearly finished, and more talks are ongoing. They plan to take the case to the Supreme Court if needed.
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett told Fox Business News the court decision would not affect negotiations, calling the ruling a minor hiccup.
Trade adviser Peter Navarro told Bloomberg, “Countries are still calling us wanting deals. These deals will happen.”
Most US trading partners in Europe and Asia stayed quiet about the court decision and appeal. Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney said the ruling “is consistent with Canada’s position” that the tariffs were unlawful and unjustified.
The lawsuit was brought by wine-seller VOS Selections and four other small businesses, which said the tariffs hurt their sales. Their lawyer, Ilya Somin, called the court ruling a “victory” against the president’s “massive power grab.”
Somin said the ruling shows Trump was wrong to claim unlimited power to impose tariffs and that such authority would be unconstitutional.
