US Appeals Court Suspends Ruling Blocking Tariffs


Doha: A US federal appeals court decided reinstated today the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, just one day after a trade court had ruled to block those tariffs with immediate effect. The federal appeals court suspended the earlier ruling by the trade court while it considers the motion’s papers. The Trump administration had told the court it would seek emergency relief from the Supreme Court on Friday if the tariff ruling was not put on pause.



According to Qatar News Agency, yesterday, the US Court of International Trade had issued a ruling to suspend the tariffs with immediate effect, arguing that the president had overstepped his authority in imposing them.
