U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday asked a U.S. court to pause its ruling against the administration’s 10 per cent global tariff while the federal government pursues an appeal.
Last week, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the president’s 10 per cent temporary global duties were unjustified under a 1970s trade law.
But the court only blocked the levies for two private importers and the state of Washington.
The court ruled that Trump’s imposition of the tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 was misguided.
In February, Trump imposed the so-called global tariff of 10 per cent after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some tariffs the U.S. president had implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
CUSMA-compliant Canadian exports heading to the U.S. were exempt from the global tariff.
President Donald Trump, who took aim at a U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down tariffs he imposed under emergency powers, says he has alternatives available to him and will move forward with a 10 per cent global tariff. CBC’s Katie Simpson looks at the top court’s ruling, Trump’s reaction and what might come next.
