The court said the case raises “issues of exceptional importance” that warrant an expedited review; oral arguments are set to take place on July 31.

A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners could remain in effect amid ongoing litigation.

In a ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to extend a stay on a lower court’s ruling that had blocked the tariffs on the grounds that Trump exceeded his authority by issuing sweeping levies on nearly all trade partners.

“Both sides have made substantial arguments on the merits. Having considered the traditional stay factors, the court concludes a stay is warranted under the circumstances,” the court stated.

The court said the case raises “issues of exceptional importance” that warrant an expedited review by the appeals court’s full panel of judges. Oral arguments are set to take place on July 31, according to the ruling.

Trump welcomed the appeals court’s decision, calling it “a great and important win” for the United States.

“A Federal Appeals Court has just ruled that the United States can use TARIFFS to protect itself against other countries,” he wrote social media platform Truth Social following the order.

The case centers on the 10 percent baseline tariff that Trump imposed on nearly all imports by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on April 2. The IEEPA is a federal law that allows the president to regulate international trade during a national emergency.

Trump also imposed reciprocal tariffs on trade partners as part of an effort to address trade deficits, but the administration later paused the tariffs for 90 days to allow time for negotiations while maintaining the baseline tariffs.

Before imposing the sweeping tariffs, Trump placed levies on imports from Canada, China, and Mexico to combat the flow of illegal immigrants and synthetic opioids across the U.S. border.

On May 28, the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked Trump’s tariffs from taking effect in response to lawsuits brought by a group of small businesses and attorneys general from 12 states. The appeals court later stayed the decision following the administration’s appeal, allowing the tariffs to take effect while it “considers the motions papers.”
