Moving Forward: Federal court reinstates President Trump’s blanket tariffs

A federal court has put a hold on the ruling that said President Trump overstepped his authority with blanket tariffs.

The President’s team filed an appeal on Wednesday shortly after the first decision was handed down.
The U.S. Court of International Trade argued that the 10 percent blanket tariffs on all countries fell outside emergency requirements.

With this in place, the 10 percent tariffs can be used while the courts decide the case. The next hearing is on June 5th.
