WASHINGTON—A legal battle is unfolding over President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, but trade experts say any setbacks are unlikely to stop the administration from keeping pressure on U.S. trading partners.
On May 28, a federal trade court struck down most of Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs, including a 10 percent baseline tariff on almost all imports. The following day, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit temporarily reinstated them, pausing the lower court’s ruling.
