#TrumpTariffs $TRUMP

Washington - The federal appeals court has come closer to ruling on whether to keep most of the global tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump in place for a longer period while the legal battle over them continues.

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice requested that the federal appeals court extend its previous temporary stay of a ruling issued by a lower court on May 28, which deemed most of Trump's tariffs illegal. The government stated that this ruling harmed the president's ability to manage foreign policy.

The federal court can now issue a ruling at any time regarding whether to lift the stay during the appeals process, which is likely to last for months. The administration also indicated that it would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if the appeals court lifts its current stay.
