AsianFin -- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Thursday reinstated sweeping parts of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, offering at least some hope for a White House now struggling to rewrite the global trading order.

After a trade court had ruled on Wednesday night Trump had exceeded his authority in imposing the duties and had ordered an immediate block on them, the White House appealed against it immediately. 

An order from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington directed the plaintiffs in the case to respond by June 5 and the administration by June 9.

The administration described the order as validating its vow to challenge a ruling issued Wednesday by the Court of International Trade blocking sweeping parts of Trump’s tariffs over his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.

“I can assure you, American people, that the Trump tariff agenda is alive, well, healthy, and will be implemented to protect you, to save your jobs and your factories,” trade adviser Peter Navarro told reporters on Thursday.

The "Liberation Day tariffs," announced on April 2, 2025, include a baseline 10% tariff on imports from most countries, with additional country-specific tariffs based on perceived unfair trade practices.
