The White House vows not to abandon tariff measures and will consider using other means in addition to appealing.

Although Trump’s signature tariff policy has been hit the hardest to date, his enthusiasm for imposing new tariffs has not diminished in the slightest. White House officials were quick to say on Thursday that if the appeal fails, Trump will continue to push forward with the same tariffs through other legitimate powers. At the same time, the government is also actively trying to overturn the court’s decision, saying it will take the case to the Supreme Court as early as Friday if the federal appeals court does not suspend the original ruling. The White House said Thursday that it was evaluating other options, but advisers acknowledged that they could take longer.
