A US Federal Appeal Court said on Thursday that President Donald Trump could keep his rates in place for now using emergency forces. This ruling comes after the administration disputed the previous decision that blocked the majority of its flagship economic policy. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeal approved an urgent request from his team, saying that the strike of the rates would be “critical of the country’s national security”. Trump faces several lawsuits that claim to be “liberation day” tariffs beyond what the law allows. On Wednesday, a panel of three Judges from the US Court of International Trade ruled that Trump had abused his powers using the 1977 International Emergency Economic Forces Act to declare a national emergency and set tariffs on imports from almost every country. The decision is a big blow to Trump, whose unpredictable trade movements have shaken financial markets around the world. The US defends Trump’s emergency tariffs The decision by the US Court of Appeal was celebrated by the Adbivisor and Trade Advisor Peter Navarro told reporters on Thursday: ‘I can assure you, US people, that the Trump tariff agenda is alive, well, healthy and will be implemented to protect you, to save your work and your factories. While Peter Navarro welcomed the temporary break on the verdict, the White House was concerned that the Court of Appeal could still stop Trump’s tariff policy. White House officials said they intended to continue defending the legality of their efforts to trade to the US High Court, saying that if they were stimulated, Trump would simply pursue the same charges by other authorities. “America cannot function as President Trump – or any other president, for that case – has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations by activists judges,” Withuis press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday. “In the end, the Supreme Court must put an end to this for our Constitution and our country.” (With inputs of AP and Bloomberrg)
