Court Rules Against President Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs, but All Tariffs Remain in Effect as the President Appeals
Late Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling declaring President Trump’s tariffs, predicated on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), unlawful.
All of President Trump’s tariffs remain in effect for now, however, because the appellate court stayed its order until Oct. 14 to allow the Administration time to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The White House said it will appeal the decision.
The MCAA’s public policy team has been monitoring this litigation since highlighting its potential to block the President’s IEEPA-based tariffs at the May Government Affairs Committee meeting in Washington, D.C.
