A federal court of appeals granted the Justice Department’s request Thursday to stay the decision that halted many of President Donald Trump’s recently imposed tariffs.
If the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit had not stayed the ruling, the administration had said it planned to go to the Supreme Court on Friday to ask for emergency relief.
During a briefing Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt derided the decision halting tariffs as “judicial overreach” and said it was part of “a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process.”
