U.S. Appeals Court Allows Continuation of Trump's 10% Global Tariffs Pending Legal Review
A U.S. appeals court ruled that the government can continue collecting the 10% global tariffs imposed in February under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 while legal challenges proceed. These tariffs, introduced after the Supreme Court struck down broader tariffs, are set to expire in July unless Congress extends them. A lower trade court had ruled the tariffs illegal, stating the president exceeded delegated authority, but the appeals court found the government's case likely to succeed. The dispute centers on whether trade deficits justify such tariffs, and the case may reach the Supreme Court.
