US appeals court allows Donald Trump’s tariffs to stay in effect
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington said in an order Thursday afternoon that it would grant the Trump administration’s request for an immediate stay, stating “the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed”.
The appeal court has given the plaintiffs until June 5 to submit their responses. The Trump administration can file a reply by June 9, after which the court will deliver its final decision.
Shortly after the appeal court’s order, Trump slammed the trade court’s decision, claiming it ruled “against the United States of America on desperately needed tariffs”.
“Fortunately, the full 11 judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Court has just stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade”, he said on social media.
