Trump Administration Appeals Second Federal Court Ruling Against Tariffs
The Trump administration has appealed a second federal court decision striking down its tariff regime. US Trade Representative Greer said the White House expects to win on appeal. The legal back-and-forth keeps global supply chains in limbo.
After the US Court of International Trade ruled that the administration's 10% baseline tariff exceeded its emergency economic powers, the White House filed a notice of appeal. The court found the executive branch had stretched its authority well beyond what Congress had intended.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said he was "confident" the federal appeals court would overturn an earlier ruling against temporary tariffs. The administration expects the cases to ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
The limbo is unsettling for business. Major importers including Apple and General Motors are running multiple planning scenarios. The European Commission, facing a 4 July deadline imposed by the White House, is watching the legal process closely as it weighs its response.
