A federal appeals court has temporarily allowed President Trump to maintain tariffs on China and other trading partners after another court ruled these tariffs illegal. This decision is crucial as it supports Trump’s use of emergency powers under a 1970s law to impose tariffs, which has reshaped international trade dynamics. Current trade negotiations with China are also at stake if the tariffs were to be removed. Small businesses have sued the administration, claiming financial difficulties due to these tariffs, following a prior court ruling against Trump’s interpretation of the law.
This decision is a significant interim victory for the Trump administration, allowing tariffs on China and other partners to remain as legal arguments continue.
A coalition of small businesses and states have claimed they face financial hardship due to Trump's tariffs, following a ruling that found the use of emergency powers excessive.
