Supreme Court Agrees To Quickly Review Trump’s Tariffs

The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to quickly decide questions surrounding President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

Oral arguments will be held at the beginning of November, according to the court’s order.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a lower court decision blocking Trump’s tariffs on Aug. 29, finding the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not give the president authority to authorize them. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the decision “would literally destroy the United States of America” if allowed to stand.

In its petition, the administration argued the lower court’s decision “eviscerates a critical tool for addressing emergencies through fuzzy reasoning that improperly transforms judges into foreign-policy referees.”

“Left undisturbed, the decision below would, in the President’s view, unilaterally disarm the United States and allow other nations to hold America’s economy hostage to their retaliatory trade policies,” the administration argued.
