Welcome to the News Hour. President Trump's sweeping tariffs remain in place tonight for now after a day of legal whiplash. But the ultimate fate of many of those tariffs is unclear after a series of court decisions.

Two federal courts, including a special court of international trade, ruled against many of the president's tariffs, saying they were illegal and that the president

did not have the specific authority that he cited to impose them. But those decisions are on hold

after a separate appellate court issued a stay this afternoon. That court told the administration

and a coalition of states and businesses who sued that it would hear arguments early next month.

Stephanie Syne begins with this report.

Last night, the Trump administration faced another example of judicial overreach.

Today, the Trump administration is fighting back after a federal court ruling that could upend its tariff policy.

America cannot function if President Trump or any other president for that matter has

their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.

Foreign leaders, on the other hand, applauded the decision.

The government welcomes yesterday's decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade, which is consistent with Canada's long-standing position, that the U.S. IEPA tariffs were unlawful as well as unjustified.

China urges the U.S. to heed the rational voices of the international community and its domestic

stakeholders and to completely eliminate the unilateral imposition of additional tariffs.

Generally, the president has imposed tariffs in three main categories, 10% tariffs on almost

every country, higher tariffs for Canada, Mexico, and China, and industry-specific

tariffs, including an additional 25 percent rate on steel, aluminum, and cars. Were it not for the

circuit court stayed today, last night's ruling would have blocked the first two. In addition to

tariffs Trump had threatened to issue on

dozens of other countries the U.S. has trade deficits with. Our country and its taxpayers have

been ripped off. Trump bypassed Congress and implemented them by executive order, arguing that

he has the power to do so under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.
