Commerce Secretary Says ‘Tariffs Are Not Going Away’ as Trump’s Trade Plans Face Legal Battles
- A federal trade court ruled on Wednesday that President Trump exceeded his legal authority by imposing tariffs on more than 50 countries under national emergency claims.
- The tariffs, introduced by President Trump under a national emergency statute to tackle concerns such as fentanyl and border security, were legally contested by a group comprising multiple states and small business owners.
- Within a day, the U.S. Court of Appeals granted a temporary stay on the lower court’s decision, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect while the White House continues its appeals and explores other potential tariff approaches.
- Trade and legal experts noted the ruling adds uncertainty, with some seeing potential relief for Canadian exporters and others warning it could prompt new tariff methods, while the White House insists 'tariffs are not going away.'
- The tariffs’ fate remains uncertain amid ongoing court battles and negotiations, and business leaders stress that a durable trade agreement, not courts, will ultimately resolve the dispute.
