US EditionCompanies ask Supreme Court to quickly hear Trump tariffs challenge
- Two small businesses, Learning Resources Inc. and hand2mind Inc., asked the U.S. Supreme Court on June 17 to promptly rule on the legality of President Trump's tariffs imposed under emergency powers.
- The companies contend that Trump unlawfully implemented tariffs using an emergency powers statute without obtaining congressional authorization, a position bolstered by a federal judge’s May 29 decision that temporarily blocked the enforcement of those tariffs.
- The tariffs, imposed by executive orders between February and April, caused substantial financial burdens, escalating costs from $2.3 million in 2024 to an expected $100 million in 2025 for these businesses.
- Rick Woldenberg, CEO of Learning Resources, noted that many companies are reluctantly increasing their prices and called for the Supreme Court to act quickly in order to alleviate the ongoing uncertainty.
- The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether to take the case, but the companies asked for expedited review before lower court appeals are resolved, emphasizing the case's urgency and importance.
