Donald Trump Issues Supreme Court Warning Before Tariffs Hearing
The Supreme Court is set to decide if the International Emergency Economic Powers Act permits indefinite tariffs, risking tens of billions in refunds and impacting U.S. businesses.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act lets President Donald Trump impose tariffs ranging from 10% to more than 100% on goods from China, Mexico and Canada.
- Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump invoked IEEPA, citing large trade deficits and drug trafficking involving China, Mexico, and Canada as emergency justifications for tariffs.
- Lower courts already sided with challengers, ruling against the tariffs as the Court of International Trade and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit found tariff authority limited, but courts kept tariffs in effect pending Supreme Court review.
- A ruling against the tariffs could force tens of billions in government refunds, as dismantling $200 billion in revenue would create a major clash.
- The case hinges on the major-questions doctrine, with James Sample calling it 'staggeringly important' and the U.S. Supreme Court examining IEEPA's meaning in this context for the first time.
