- 0:00Speaker 1: So Christine, it's a big deal. Yeah, just also a
- 0:04Speaker 1: lot of the chaos that we've been talking about, the
- 0:05Speaker 1: back and forth exactly, and this is exactly what the
- 0:07Speaker 1: White House wanted. What they said this morning they were
- 0:09Speaker 1: going to do. They were going to go to this
- 0:10Speaker 1: DC Appeals Court and they would say, look, we want
- 0:12Speaker 1: you to stay the International Trade Court decision for now
- 0:17Speaker 1: while this moves forward. And the White House had said
- 0:19Speaker 1: they would appeal directly to Supreme Court if they didn't
- 0:21Speaker 1: hear from the appeals court. Now they have heard from
- 0:23Speaker 1: a DC appeals court pausing any tariffs, any tariff changes
- 0:27Speaker 1: while the case is litigated. So not saying that the
- 0:31Speaker 1: President does have the authority to do this, but just
- 0:33Speaker 1: saying that while this plays out, they're going to reinstate
- 0:38Speaker 1: those tariffs. I'll also point out that in this particular
- 0:41Speaker 1: decision here, they're looking to consolidate some of these cases.
- 0:45Speaker 1: There have been multiple cases filed against the president's trade
- 0:48Speaker 1: agenda and his tariffs. In particular, this particular case was
- 0:52Speaker 1: States also some small businesses who had said the President
- 0:56Speaker 1: just lacks the authority in this particular rule that he used.
- 1:00Speaker 1: So do idea how long the appeals process takes here unclear, unclear.
- 1:06Speaker 1: What I think is interesting is you've got another deadline
- 1:08Speaker 1: here July ninth. That's when those original I put it
- 1:12Speaker 1: in air quotes, reciprocal tariffs, when the President stood there
- 1:15Speaker 1: in the Rose Guard with that big chart with all
- 1:17Speaker 1: those numbers that he was going to charge people. Then
- 1:19Speaker 1: he paused some of those and then some went back on.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But July ninth is when there's supposed to be some
- 1:24Speaker 1: clear that those reciprocal tariffs, that's what the International Trade
- 1:28Speaker 1: Court said he did not have the authority to impose.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Now this DC Appeals Court saying, okay, we're going to
- 1:34Speaker 1: pause that International Trade Court decision until this litigate goes
- 1:39Speaker 1: through the appeals process. So we're back to where we
- 1:41Speaker 1: were a day and a half ago. And this is
- 1:43Speaker 1: this is part and parcel, Katie, of the frustration for
- 1:46Speaker 1: businesses and importers, because it just means there's still is
- 1:51Speaker 1: indecision overall about what happens next and what rates tariffs
- 1:55Speaker 1: will be for these different countries in the days and
- 1:58Speaker 1: weeks ahead.
