US Government Seeks Stay on Court Ruling Invalidating 10% Global Tariffs

Story Summary

The Justice Department has requested a stay on a US Court of International Trade ruling that declared President Trump’s 10% global tariffs unlawful. While the government appeals, it seeks to maintain the levies, which generated $8 billion in March alone. Officials argue that halting collection would undermine trade negotiations and overwhelm courts with refund claims from over 170,000 affected importers.
