US Appeals Court Upholds Trump's 10% Global Tariff
A US federal appeals court upheld Trump's 10% across-the-board global tariff, allowing the levy to remain in effect while legal proceedings continue. The ruling is a significant victory for the administration's trade agenda, preserving the baseline tariff on virtually all US imports as challenges work through the courts. The decision keeps in place one of the broadest trade measures invoked under emergency economic powers, with opponents arguing the tariff exceeded executive authority under IEEPA.
