The Trump administration has already signaled it is willing to fight that battle as far as the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ruling came shortly after negotiators from <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/10\/business\/economy\/us-china-trade-deal.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the United States and China agreed to a framework<\/a> intended to extend a trade truce between the two superpowers. The Trump administration had warned that those talks and others would have been jeopardized if the appeals court had not granted a fuller stay while arguments proceeded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the heart of the legal wrangling is Mr. Trump\u2019s novel interpretation of a 1970s law that he used to wage a global trade war on an expansive scale. No president before him had ever used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to impose tariffs, and the word itself is not even mentioned in the statute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the law has formed the foundation of Mr. Trump\u2019s campaign to reorient the global economic order. He has invoked its powers to sidestep Congress and impose huge taxes on most global imports, with the goal of raising revenue, bolstering domestic manufacturing and brokering more favorable trade deals with other countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A group of small businesses and a coalition of states in April each sued the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade, claiming that they faced financial hardship from the president\u2019s illegal actions. The trade court agreed, finding late last month that Mr. Trump had greatly overstepped the bounds of the emergency powers law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The judges ordered the White House to halt many of its tariffs, including those imposed on China, Canada and Mexico. But the Trump administration immediately appealed the ruling, and judges on the appeals court initially granted the government a temporary stay. That allowed the president\u2019s tariffs to remain in place, while the court weighed a longer-term pause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It granted that extension on Tuesday, allowing the court to turn next to the legal arguments at the heart of the case \u2014 and the extent to which Mr. Trump possesses the sweeping trade powers that he claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re disappointed the federal circuit allowed the unlawful tariffs to remain in place temporarily,\u201d said Jeffrey Schwab, a senior counsel at the Liberty Justice Center, which is representing the group of small businesses that sued the administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said in a statement that courts evaluating the merits of the case have \u201cfound these tariffs unlawful,\u201d adding that \u201cwe have faith that this court will likewise see what is plain as day: that IEEPA does not allow the president to impose whatever tax he wants whenever he wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/10\/business\/economy\/trump-tariffs-court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal appeals court agreed on Tuesday to allow President Trump to maintain many of his tariffs on China and other U.S.<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/u-s-court-agrees-to-keep-trump-tariffs-intact-as-appeal-gets-underway\/10\/06\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2025\/06\/10\/multimedia\/00dc-tariffruling-lhjf\/00dc-tariffruling-lhjf-facebookJumbo.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49843"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
