Trump administration asked an appeals court to pause a ruling that blocked its tariffs

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trade Representative Jamieson Lee Greer were among the four senior Trump officials who submitted affidavits in support of the tariffs. They stressed that the legal uncertainty threatens fragile negotiations with dozens of other countries. The administration has also sought a broader, longer-term pause, though it has won a temporary stay in the first court ruling on appeal. Among the tariffs under scrutiny are April “Liberation Day” measures levied against a broad range of imports and earlier ones imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China. All three nations deny contributing to fentanyl flow into the U.S., an allegation the administration has pressed. China dispute escalates as U.S. seeks trade concessions Tensions with China have intensified following new U.S. export restrictions and visa policies.
