A federal appeals court has agreed to allow tariffs from President Donald Trump to continue to remain in place in the near term, and will hear arguments in a legal challenge to the levies starting on July 31.

The order came from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on June 10, the Associated Press reports, but did not specify exactly why the court was siding with the Trump administration. On May 28, the three-member U.S. Court of International Trade had ordered a halt to Trump's 10% blanket tariffs and his levies against China, all of which were implemented under emergency powers afforded to the President under 1977's International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). A day later, the federal appeals court ruled that the tariffs could stay in place while the case plays out, before extending that reprieve in its most recent ruling.

In that new order, the appeals court opted to expedite the case, noting that it addresses "issues of exceptional importance." The challenge to Trump's tariffs revolves around claims from a coalition of state attorneys-general that the IEEPA doesn't give the President the broad authority to implement tariffs that he claims to have under his emergency powers.

“We’re glad the court recognizes how important this case is by moving it forward quickly," said Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield in a June 11 release. "These tariffs are illegal — and they’re hurting people."

Trump praised the appeals court's ruling in a post to his Truth Social platform, calling it a "great and important win for the U.S." A White House spokesperson added that it represented a "welcome development," while claiming that the Trump administration "is legally using the powers granted to the executive branch by the Constitution and Congress."
