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.

- 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.
