Trump administration will win appeal of ruling against temporary tariffs, US trade chief says
- On Friday, the Trump administration appealed a Court of International Trade ruling that found a 10% global tariff imposed in February was not justified under the Trade Act of 1974.
- These Section 122 duties replaced broader global tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court, designed to correct "large and serious" balance of payments deficits for up to 150 days at rates up to 15%.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer criticized the 2-1 court ruling on "Mornings with Maria," stating Congressional law "should be interpreted to be used." Greer said the judges misread the statute's intent.
- While the administration prepares its appeal, the temporary 10% tariffs remain in effect for all parties except the plaintiffs, leaving the levies in place during the legal process.
- Greer expressed confidence the administration will prevail on appeal, though he previously backed tariffs the Supreme Court ultimately invalidated, setting up a prolonged legal battle over trade authority.
