US court allows Trump tariffs to stay temporarily, cites national security; White House vows Supreme Court fight
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit approved an urgent request from his team, which said stopping the tariffs would be 'critical for the country's national security.'
Trump is facing several lawsuits which claims that his 'Liberation Day' tariffs went beyond what the law allows.
On Wednesday, a three-judge panel from the US Court of International Trade ruled that Trump misused his powers by using the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare a national emergency and set tariffs on imports from almost every country. The decision is a major blow to Trump, whose unpredictable trade moves have shaken financial markets across the world.
The decision by the US Court of Appeals was celebrated by the adbivisor and trade adviser Peter Navarro told reporters on Thursday, 'I can assure you, American people, that the Trump tariff agenda is alive, well, healthy, and will be implemented to protect you, to save your jobs and your factories.'
While Peter Navarro welcomed the temporary pause on the ruling, the White House remained concerned that the appeals court might still strike down Trump's tariff policy.
White House officials said they planned to continue defending the legality of their efforts on trade to the US Supreme Court, and said that if they were stymied, Trump would simply pursue the same levies through other authorities.
'America cannot function if President Trump — or any other president, for that matter — has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges,' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday. 'Ultimately, the Supreme Court must put an end to this for the sake of our Constitution and our country.'

Elon Musk launches 'The America Party': Social media explodes and triggers digital firestorm
Elon Musk just dropped the bomb: he has launched a brand-new political outfit called the America Party. And this isn't just Musk being Musk. It's a full-on political pivot that signals some serious drama in the making. Over the July 4 weekend, Musk rolled out an X poll asking, 'Do you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system?' Out of ~1.2 million votes, a whopping 65% yelled 'Yes!' That gave Musk the green light, and boom—'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' This wasn't just for show. A day earlier, President Trump had signed the blockbuster 'Big, Beautiful Bill'—a massive $3–4 trillion tax and spending package. Musk flipped, calling it reckless and reckless 'waste & graft,' and warned that this could bankrupt America. Musk isn't planning to run a full-frontal assault on Biden or Trump right away. Instead, he's talking about strategic hits—'laser-focus' on a few congressional seats, like 2‑3 Senate races and 8‑10 House districts. The idea? Be the swing vote in a divided Congress. He even dropped history vibes, referencing Epaminondas at Leuctra: crush the dominant force with targeted precision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

Social media reactions "This man could put an end to all of this… All he has to do is tell the truth about the election." "Hey @elonmusk, the entire world will love you if you take down Trump. You do realize that." "The tattered bromance between Donald Trump and his main campaign financier Elon Musk took another fractious turn when the billionaire announced the formation of a new political party." Trump vs Musk: Round two? Remember, Musk was a major Trump donor—hundreds of millions funneling into the 2024 campaign, plus co-leading Trump's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) initiative. But now? Their bromance is toast. Trump retaliated, threatening to yank subsidies from Musk's Tesla and SpaceX. And (as usual) Tesla's stock is a rollercoaster, swinging with every headline. Launching a third party in the U.S. is like climbing Everest with flip‑flops. But let's be honest, this rollout feels part power move, part flex. Even if the America Party doesn't win seats, it could shake things up by pulling votes—or maybe just highlight Musk's vision for a 'freer' system.

'To give you back your freedom': Elon Musk officially launches America Party
WASHINGTON: Elon Musk, an ex-ally of US President Donald Trump, said Saturday he had launched a new political party in the United States to challenge what the tech billionaire described as the country's "one-party system." The world's richest person, and Trump's biggest political donor in the 2024 election had a bitter falling out with the president after leading the Republican's effort to slash spending and cut federal jobs as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk has clashed with Trump over the president's massive domestic spending plan, saying it would explode the US debt, and vowed to do everything in his power to defeat lawmakers who voted for it. Now he has created the so-called America Party, his own political framework, through which to try and achieve that. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," the Space X and Tesla boss posted on X, the social media platform that he owns. "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom."

Behind 'America Party': Why Elon Musk Launched A New Political Outfit
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is now going solo in politics after a brief stint in the administration of US President Donald Trump, the world's most powerful elected leader. He declared the formation of the ' America Party ' early this morning after an online poll, dropping the announcement weeks after his fallout with Trump. Behind the President and Musk's fallout was a massive package of spending and tax breaks that Trump had described as a "big, beautiful bill", while his former government efficiency chief had called it "utterly insane and destructive". The idea of a new political party was always there, waiting for Trump to sign the bill into law. And as Trump signed the bill during the July 4 celebrations at the White House, Musk asked his supporters online whether he should go ahead with the new party. With the poll in his favour, Musk declared, "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party, and you shall have it." Why A New Party? Musk, who was once a "first buddy" to the Republican leader, aims to challenge the country's "one-party system". "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom," he said in an online post. The America Party also has plans to counter the uniparty system, which the tech billionaire described with an example of the defeat of Spartan warriors. "The way we're going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra: Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield," said Musk. While not much detail is available on the new political party, Musk affirmed a user's query that the outfit be centrist, aim to reduce debt, modernise the military and be pro-technology that takes the US ahead in artificial intelligence. The Rift That Mattered Musk earlier led the US efforts to cut spending and federal jobs as the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was introduced by Trump after his thumping victory in last year's elections. The two echoed the need for cutting government spending, but Trump's spending bill deterred Musk from continuing this alliance. The bill would "destroy millions of jobs" and "cause immense strategic harm" to the US, Musk had said. Musk quit the US administration in May end. Over a month later, he revealed his plan to launch a new alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty if the Senators went ahead with Trump's "big, beautiful bill". "If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE," he had said on July 1.
