President Donald Trump has hailed the decision by the Federal Court of Appeal that the tariffs will remain in place as the appeal process continues.
In a social media post on June 11, 2025, the US President stated that the decision made by the court was a great win for the United States (US).
“A Federal Appeals Court has just ruled that the United States can use tariffs to protect itself against other countries. A great and important win for the U.S,” Trump said.
This decision follows a ruling on May 28, 2025, by the US Court of Appeals that declared that Trump had overstepped his boundaries in imposing countrywide tariffs.
Court on Trump Tariffs
The US administration subsequently filed a notice of appeal and challenged the authority of the court.
Moreover, the court invalidated with immediate effect all of Trump’s orders on tariffs since January that were under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The tariffs imposed have affected imports from foreign countries in the trade war between the US and other Countries.
“The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the President’s use of tariffs as leverage. That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it,” a three-judge panel said.

100-Day Speech
The United States president celebrated the first 100 days of his second term with a rally in Warren, Michigan, on April 29, 2025.
During his speech, United States President stated that his decision to impose tariffs on US trading partners could spark a revival in domestic manufacturing, although he would be open to further diplomatic discussions.
“We’ll make deals, but we don’t have to. We are the ones who have the product. I want to be respectful, and I want to be nice, but if it takes too long, I’ll just set a price,” Trump said during his address at a rally in Michigan.

Trump Trade and Tariffs
One of Trump’s key early actions has been the expansion of tariffs. He has imposed a 25% duty on aluminium and steel, as well as on goods from Mexico and Canada that do not meet the revised free trade agreement terms.
Chinese imports face a steep 145% tariff, while imported vehicles are taxed at 25%, with additional duties on auto parts expected. A general 10% tariff now applies to all U.S. imports.
