United States.. Appeals Court Upholds Tariffs Imposed by Trump

The U.S. federal appeals court ruled yesterday evening to uphold the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, while expediting the consideration of the appeals filed against 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 consulting Congress.

About 20 plaintiffs, including companies and U.S. states, are challenging the legal basis on which Trump relied to impose these taxes, asserting that this authority belongs to the legislative branch.
