WASHINGTON - A federal appeals court on Thursday is temporarily allowing President Donald Trump to continue collecting tariffs under a new emergency powers law.
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an emergency motion from the Trump administration arguing that a halt is "critical for the country’s national security."
The appeals court temporarily halted the order from a federal trade court issued a day before.
What to know
The backstory:
On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare a national emergency slap tariffs on imports from almost every country in the world.
The ruling was a big setback for Trump, whose erratic trade policies have rocked financial markets, paralyzed businesses with uncertainty and raised fears of higher prices and slower economic growth.
What's next:
The order to temporarily allow the tariffs to continue directed plaintiffs in this case to respond by June 5 and the Trump administration has until June 9, according to a Reuters report.
