US President Donald Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs exceeded presidential authority, a US Court of International Trade has ruled. On Wednesday, May 28, the court blocked some of the steepest Trump tariffs – but not all newly imposed import taxes – giving the presidential administration up to 10 days to end the tariffs.
Less than 24 hours after the ruling, an appeals court paused that 10-day deadline, effectively leaving tariffs in place while the administration prepares for a legal battle. The Trump administration's appeal takes the case to the US Court of Appeals and could potentially head all the way to the Supreme Court.
