The United States.. The Court of Appeals decides to maintain the tariffs imposed by Trump
The American federal court of appeals ruled yesterday evening, Tuesday, to maintain the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, while accelerating the pace of reviewing the appeals submitted regarding them.
The court's decision came in response to a request from the Trump administration, meaning that the tariffs established in early April will remain in effect during the months of June and July, at least, pending new deliberations scheduled for July 31.
The decision extends the effect of a previous ruling by the same court that suspended the enforcement of a decision by a commercial court in New York, which had considered that Trump exceeded his executive powers by imposing these tariffs without returning to Congress.
About 20 plaintiffs, including companies and American states, are contesting the legal basis that Trump relied upon to impose these taxes, arguing that this authority belongs to the legislative branch.
