A federal appeals court has temporarily paused a ruling that declared President Donald Trump’s latest global tariffs unlawful, as the judges weigh the administration’s request to allow officials to keep collecting the levies while the legal fight continues.
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a brief order on Tuesday entering what’s known as an administrative stay, and set a fast schedule for both sides to file briefs on the administration’s request to leave the tariffs intact while it appeals. The small businesses and Democratic state officials who sued are due to respond in a week.
