The short-term relief will allow the appeals process to proceed after the US Court of International Trade barred most of the tariffs announced since Trump took office, ruling on Wednesday that he had overstepped his authority.
US Trade Secretary Scott Bessent said trade talks were “a bit stalled” and suggested Trump get involved personally with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in order to iron out tariffs between the world’s two biggest economies.
Washington and Beijing agreed this month to pause reciprocal tariffs for 90 days, a surprise de-escalation in their bitter trade war following talks between top officials in Geneva.
However, the stop-start tariff rollout on both allies and adversaries has roiled markets and snarled supply chains.
The Trump administration called the block “blatantly wrong,“ expressing confidence that the decision would be overturned on appeal.
Leavitt said the Supreme Court “must put an end” to the tariff challenge, while stressing that Trump had other legal means to impose levies.
‘Hiccups’
Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro told reporters after the appellate stay that the administration had earlier received “plenty of phone calls from countries” who said they would continue to “negotiate in good faith,“ without identifying those nations.
The president has argued that trade deficits and the threat posed by drug smuggling constituted a “national emergency” that justified the widespread tariffs -- a notion the Court of International Trade ruled against.
The US trade court’s ruling quashed those blanket duties, along with others that Trump imposed on Canada, Mexico and China separately using emergency powers.
Beijing -- which was hit by additional 145 percent tariffs before they were temporarily reduced to make space for negotiations -- reacted to the trade court decision by saying Washington should scrap the levies.
The trade court was ruling in two separate cases, brought by businesses and a coalition of state governments, arguing that the president had violated Congress’s power of the purse.
The judges stated that any interpretation of the IEEPA that “delegates unlimited tariff authority is unconstitutional.”
Analysts at London-based research group Capital Economics said the case may end up with the Supreme Court but would likely not mark the end of the tariff war.
