Appeals court reinstates tariffs

A day after the US Court of International Trade invalidated US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs and other duties, a federal appeals court on Thursday granted the Trump administration's request to temporarily pause the trade court's ruling. The judgment issued Wednesday by the international trade court is "temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers", the appeals court said in its order. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's reinstating of Trump's tariffs gives the administration some breathing room, local media reported on Thursday.

Judge blocks ban on Harvard enrollment

A US federal judge on Thursday extended a Temporary Restraining Order on the US administration's policy that aimed to prevent Harvard University from enrolling international students.
