US court pauses decision blocking Trump’s 10 percent global tariff

A US federal appeals court has temporarily paused a lower court decision to block President Trump's 10 percent global tariff. The lower court had ruled that Trump failed to meet the criteria under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act to apply the new tariffs, calling them "unauthorized by law". The appeals court decision allows the White House time to respond, but the plaintiffs argue that Trump's tariff campaign is an abuse of executive power and has led to increased costs for consumers.
