US EditionSupreme Court will hear Trump tariffs case on fast track
- On September 9, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to expedite review of the legality of President Donald Trump's broad tariffs enacted under a 1977 statute.
- This case concerns lower court decisions that found Trump exceeded his statutory authority by using a 1977 federal law to justify tariffs on the majority of imports.
- Trump's tariffs have generated $159 billion in revenue by late August and face challenges from at least eight lawsuits, including one filed by California and multiple small businesses.
- A 7-4 appellate court ruling expressed doubt that Congress intended to provide the president with unrestricted power over tariffs, emphasizing that the case addresses a highly significant issue with economic implications potentially reaching into the trillions of dollars.
- The Supreme Court's ruling will test limits on presidential power and could affect tariffs central to Trump's agenda, possibly requiring large refunds and impacting trade deals with countries like the EU, Japan, and South Korea.
