Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Reinstates Trump’s Tariffs Amid Legal Disputes

On June 10, 2025, a federal appellate court ordered an extended temporary stay pending appeal, allowing former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs to remain in effect while legal challenges continue. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an order Thursday staying the May 28 decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade while it considers motions from both sides, which had found that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in imposing the tariffs.

The import tariffs, introduced by the Trump Administration, include a 10% global baseline levy and additional charges targeting imports from China, Canada, and Mexico. Critics argue that the use of IEEPA for such broad economic measures is legally flawed, as the act was historically applied to national security threats. Plaintiffs, including small businesses and several U.S. states, contend that the tariffs are unconstitutional and have caused significant economic disruption.

The appellate court has scheduled oral arguments for July 31 to resolve the matter. The decision to expedite the case underscores its exceptional importance, with potential implications for executive authority in trade policy. This development maintains uncertainty about the long-term impact of the import tariffs on markets, businesses, and consumers. Both sides anticipate a possible Supreme Court review following the appeal.
