In its motion for a stay, the Trump administration argued that the US Court of International Trade (CIT)'s decision should be stayed pending the full run of government appeals - up to the Supreme Court, if necessary. The CIT has 7 days to respond to the ruling.
Last February, after the Supreme Court rejected several global tariffs proposed by the Trump administration, President Trump introduced a temporary 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act. This tariff remains in effect until the end of July unless extended by Congress. On May 7, the CIT blocked enforcement of the tariff against two companies and Washington State starting Tuesday, ruling that President Trump’s 10% global tariff was unlawful.
