(The Center Square) – The Trump administration asked the U.S. Court of International Trade on Monday to pause its ruling blocking the president's Section 122 tariffs, warning that even a temporary halt could disrupt trade negotiations and trigger a surge in imports.
In a court declaration, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said suspending the 10% tariff could undermine talks with trading partners.
