President Donald Trump's tariffs are "not going away," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said, downplaying a pair of recent court decisions that declared the bulk of the president's tariffs illegal and momentarily paused the levies.

Lutnick's June 1 comments on Fox News Sunday came days after the Court of International Trade ruled that Trump lacked the authority under the emergency power he cited on April 2 to impose reciprocal tariffs on imports from most countries. An appeals court later said Trump can continue to levy the tariffs while challenging the ruling.

Lutnick predicted Trump would win on appeal. But he also referenced other tariff authorities if the higher courts agree with the trade court that Trump can't invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to bypass Congress to issue the tariffs.
