President Trump’s tariffs are still on…
According to a New York Post report, a federal appeals court has put the brakes on a lower court order that overturned most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs.
From The New York Post:
A full 11-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the federal circuit stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade while the White House appeal is heard.
The Court of International Trade had ruled that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by imposing a 10% flat duty rate on dozens of countries around the world — as well as 25% tariffs on Canada and 20% tariffs on China and Mexico in response to illegal fentanyl trafficking.
The tariffs had been challenged by a dozen states and five small businesses — which the appeals panel gave until June 5 to respond to Thursday’s stay.
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday that Trump overstepped his authority over tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
“The Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive powers to ‘lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,’ and to ‘regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,’” the court opined. “The question in the two cases before the court is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (“IEEPA”) delegates these powers to the President in the form of authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world.
“The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder,” the court continued.
