US court temporarily pauses ruling that blocked Trump's tariff; White House vows Supreme Court fight
A US federal appeals court on Thursday said that President Donald Trump can keep his tariffs in place for now, using emergency powers. This ruling comes after the administration challenged the previous ruling that blocked majority of his flagship economic policies.
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.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says, " ...Other countries around the world has belief in Donald Trump...they also probably see how ridiculous this ruling is...we intend to win, we have filed an emergency appeal and we expect to fight this battle all the way in Supreme Court..."
'America cannot function if President Trump — or any other president, for that matter — has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges,' she added. 'Ultimately, the Supreme Court must put an end to this for the sake of our Constitution and our country.'

Mexican band Grupo Firme cancels US show, saying their visas were suspended by Trump administration
MEXICO CITY — The popular Mexican regional music band Grupo Firme announced on Friday that it was canceling a performance in a music festival in California over the weekend after the United States government suspended the musicians' visas. It comes after the U.S. State Department has revoked visas of a number of Mexican musicians for playing a genre of music that it says glorifies cartel violence. The group, which has soared to international fame playing Mexican regional music, said in a statement posted on its Instagram account that the visas of them and their team are currently under 'administrative review by the U.S. Embassy" and that it would make it 'impossible' for them to perform in the La Onda Fest to be held in the city of Napa Valley, California on June 1. But the post didn't detail what it would mean in the long term for the musical group. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico said that visa cases are confidential according to U.S. law and couldn't provide more information on the case. The suspension is just the latest in a series of moves the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has taken targeting Mexican artists in the genre, who in some cases have glorified the leaders of cartels as sort of Robin Hood figures. While the genre of 'narco-corridos' has stirred controversy, much of the music also speaks to the harsh realities facing Mexican youth caught in cartel violence. Two months ago, the Mexican musical group Los Alegres del Barranco was sanctioned after it projected images of the leader of the feared Jalisco New Generation Cartel at a concert in the western state of Jalisco. 'I'm a firm believer in freedom of expression, but that doesn't mean that expression should be free of consequences,' U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said at the time. 'The last thing we need is a welcome mat for people who extol criminals and terrorists.' But Grupo Firme has taken steps in recent months to distance itself from the facet of the musical genre glorifying criminal groups, announcing in April shortly after the controversy that it would not sing such music in concerts.

End of Article 370 brought prosperity in Kashmir, Pakistan aims to undo it: Salman Khurshid in Jakarta
Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid hailed the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, insisting that the region has seen development since the move. Khurshid's remarks came during his visit to Indonesia as part of India's all-party delegation's outreach initiative. While dismantling false propaganda by Pakistan about the ongoing tensions with India, Khurshid brought up the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's landmark move in August 2019 to permanently scrap the article that gave special status to the former state of J&K. Khurshid was addressing the Indonesian think Tanks and Academia on Thursday. He is part of the delegation team, led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In his remarks, the Congress leader called Article 370 a 'major problem" that was finally put to an end in 2019. Khurshid noted that there is a government in the region today which was elected with the participation of over 60 per cent of voters in the region, ANI reported. 'Kashmir had a major problem for a long time. Much of that was reflected in the thinking of the government in an article called Article 370 of the Constitution, which somehow gave the impression that it was separate from the rest of the country. But Article 370 was abrogated, and it was finally put to an end," the Congress MP said. 'Subsequently, there was an election with 65 per cent participation in the election. There's an elected government in Kashmir today, and therefore, for people to want to undo everything that has happened, the prosperity that has come to Kashmir," he added. Don't hyphenate between India and Pakistan Another crucial message Khurshid shared in Indonesia is the demand not to hyphenate India and Pakistan. On Friday, Khurshid noted that India cannot be reduced to the 'size' and 'stature' of Pakistan. 'We are asked, why did we stop?… We are not Pakistan; we are much larger than they are. We have a greater role in the world… We got respect not only for our strengths but also for showing confidence in our strengths. We had to do certain things to teach Pakistan a lesson, and then we stopped because we are not greedy for Pakistan, their territory, or to destroy them,' he said during an interaction with the Indian community in Indonesia, ANI. 'We only want to preserve and protect ourselves… We want to lead the world. And in that leadership role, we cannot reduce ourselves to the size and stature of Pakistan… We don't want a hyphen between India and Pakistan… Talk to us separately… The beauty of our plural culture, the beauty of how we live together and celebrate life together, is something that we want to show… We are patriots. We believe in humanity. We believe in our country because our country is our mother,' he furthered. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Congress leader made it clear that India did not initiate contact with Pakistan but rather received a call from the neighbouring nation's DGMO for cessation of hostilities during 'Operation Sindoor'. He noted that India has refrained from further attacks since then.
