President Donald Trump responded Friday to an appeals court decision on his trade policy, declaring on Truth Social that “ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!” He called the panel “highly partisan,” argued the duties are essential to U.S. strength and industry, and said the administration will seek relief from the Supreme Court.
Background: Earlier Friday, a federal appeals court concluded that most of Trump’s recent tariffs exceeded presidential authority under emergency-powers law but left the measures in place until Oct. 14 to allow a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to Virginia Times. The ruling, as summarized in that report, does not affect tariffs imposed under separate authorities such as steel and aluminum.
What’s next: The Justice Department is expected to seek Supreme Court review before the Oct. 14 deadline; absent immediate intervention, the tariffs remain in effect until then.
