Overview

  • A three-judge appeals panel granted an emergency stay of the May 28 trade court order, allowing IEEPA-based tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico to remain in effect.
  • The U.S. Court of International Trade had ruled that President Trump lacked statutory authority under IEEPA to impose broad reciprocal duties.
  • The Trump administration has vowed to press its challenge up to the Supreme Court, arguing that executive tariff powers are vital for responding to national emergencies like the trade deficit and fentanyl crisis.
  • Sector-specific levies on steel, aluminum and automobiles remain unaffected because they were enacted under separate security and trade statutes.
  • China’s Ministry of Commerce urged the U.S. to rescind all unilateral tariffs, signaling heightened tensions for forthcoming trade negotiations and market stability.
