President Trump at the White House last week. In a social media post on Friday, Mr. Trump said that China violated a trade pact with the United States and suggested he could return to a more confrontational approach.
A court ruling invalidating President Trump’s sweeping tariffs was halted hours later, throwing into question the administration’s overall approach to trade.
Using tariffs to pressure foreign countries to drop their own levies and to remove other barriers to U.S. exports has been one of President Trump’s main tactics.
The U.S. Court of International Trade said the president had overstepped his authority in imposing his “reciprocal” tariffs globally, as well as levies on Canada and Mexico.
The U.S. Court of International Trade gave the executive branch up to 10 days to complete the process of halting some of President Trump’s steepest tariffs.
