Trump administration asks US court to pause ruling against tariffs
The administration says a pause is needed while it appeals a ruling that barred 10% tariffs for three plaintiffs and left most importers paying duties.
- On Thursday, May 7, 2026, a divided U.S. Court of International Trade panel ruled that President Donald Trump's 10% global tariffs are "invalid" and "unauthorized by law" for three plaintiffs: the State of Washington, Burlap & Barrel, and Basic Fun.
- Trump enacted the temporary 10% duties in February as a stopgap measure after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that his earlier tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act were unlawful.
- Because the injunction applies only to the three plaintiffs, CBP official Brandon Lord warned that extending relief for more than 13 million entry summaries involving Section 122 duties would become "increasingly unworkable."
- On Monday, the administration asked the trade court to pause its ruling during appeal, as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick argued that removing the surcharge would cause "immediate economic disruption" and trigger a flood of imports.
- With Section 122 tariffs expiring July 24, the administration is pivoting toward Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, having opened investigations involving 16 major U.S. trading partners to replace the contested levies.
