A U.S. Federal Appeals Court has allowed President Donald Trump’s tariffs to remain in effect, pending a review of a lower-court ruling that blocked the tariffs on the grounds that Trump exceeded his authority.
00:00Now, US Federal Appeals Court has allowed President Donald Trump's tariffs to remain in effect, at least for now.
00:08This is while it reveals a lower court ruling that blocked the tariffs on the grounds that Trump exceeded his authority to impose them under a national emergency.
00:18The decision means Trump may continue to enforce his Liberation Day tariffs on imports from most US trading partners.
00:26However, it does not affect sector-wide tariffs that Trump previously enacted, including those on aluminium, steel and auto parts.
00:36The case has been put on a fast track for a resolution in July.
00:41The Court of International Trade previously ruled on May 28 that the Constitution gave Congress, not the President, power to levy taxes and tariffs.
00:50The government quickly appealed, and the Federal Circuit Court in Washington post the lower court's ruling the next day while it conceded a longer-term suspension.
