Trump Administration Asks US Court to Pause Ruling Against Tariffs

NEW ⁠YORK, ⁠May 11 (Reuters) – President ⁠Donald Trump’s administration on ​Monday asked a U.S. court to ‌pause its ruling against ‌the administration’s 10% ⁠global ⁠tariff while the federal government pursues an ​appeal.

• The U.S. trade court ruled against the new tariffs on ​May 8, but did not widely ⁠block their ⁠collection

• The ⁠Trump administration ​appealed on Friday

• If the trade ​court pauses ⁠its ruling, tariffs would resume for three importers who sued over the tariffs

• The ⁠10% global tariff was imposed in February, after ⁠the U.S. Supreme Court shot down most of the tariffs that Trump imposed in 2025

• The 10% global tariffs are scheduled to expire in July, unless extended by ⁠Congress

• The latest global tariffs were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of ​1974
