On May 29 local time, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted the Trump administration's request to temporarily suspend a previous ruling by the U.S. International Trade Court that prohibited the enforcement of the Trump administration's executive order imposing tariffs on multiple countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals stated in its ruling that the request of the U.S. government has been approved, and during the court's review of the relevant motion documents, the judgments and permanent injunctions issued by the U.S. International Trade Court in these cases will be temporarily suspended until further notice.

The Trump administration earlier told the appeals court that if the ruling to block the enforcement of tariffs cannot be quickly paused, the government will seek emergency help from the Supreme Court as early as the 30th.

The U.S. International Trade Court previously ruled to prohibit the enforcement of several tariff executive orders by the government.

On the 28th, the United States International Trade Court located in New York ruled that the U.S. government's issuance of an executive order imposing tariffs on multiple countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was an overreach of authority and illegal, prohibiting the enforcement of the related executive order.

The ruling of the U.S. International Trade Court found that the President of the United States does not have the authority to impose comprehensive tariffs on almost all trading partners; granting the President "unrestricted tariff power" by Congress violates the Constitution. Congress established the authority in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, limiting when and how the President can impose tariffs. The ruling gives the U.S. government 10 days to complete the process of ceasing the imposition of tariffs.

Another court continues the ruling of the U.S. International Trade Court to block Trump's tariff policy.

Earlier on the 29th, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C. upheld a previous ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade that blocked the Trump administration's tariff policy, ordering a 14-day suspension of its tariff orders.

It is reported that the lawsuit was filed by two toy companies, and the "preliminary injunction" issued by the court currently applies only to these two companies.

At least 7 tariff lawsuits

Bloomberg reports that this ruling by the U.S. International Trade Court is one of the biggest judicial setbacks faced by the Trump administration during its current term. The Associated Press believes that this ruling effectively negates the legal foundation of some of the most iconic and controversial actions taken during Trump's second term.

According to reports from the Associated Press, there are currently at least 7 lawsuits related to tariff policies faced by the Trump administration. (CCTV reporter Xu Xiao)
