Trump says it would be ‘devastating’ if U.S. Supreme Court rules against his tariffs
- On Nov. 6, 2025 the U.S. Supreme Court began hearing arguments on two legal challenges to President Donald Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose fentanyl-related tariffs on Canada.
