President Donald Trump has said that if the U.S. is not allowed to implement tariffs, it "doesn't have, even a small chance, of economic survival."

The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court to block an order last week that found the president's sweeping tariffs were "unlawful."

US states and small businesses that won a ruling that most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs are illegal want them blocked during the administration’s appeal, saying they’re suffering immediate harm from economic uncertainty around the levies.
