Trump Says US Would Be on 'Brink of Economic Catastrophe' Unless Justices Rule His Tariffs Are Legal

President Trump urges a rapid Supreme Court ruling to maintain tariffs generating $159 billion in revenue, critical for economic policy despite legal challenges on presidential authority.

  • President Donald Trump has requested a fast-track ruling from the Supreme Court to affirm his power to impose tariffs, stating that the country would be on 'the brink of economic catastrophe' without them.
  • The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs under the 1977 law, which does not explicitly mention tariffs.
  • Solicitor General D. John Sauer warned that eliminating the tariffs could lead the U.S. to a fiscal crisis, stating it could thrust America back to 'the brink of economic catastrophe.'
  • Businesses have challenged the tariffs, claiming they are hurting U.S. companies and raising consumer prices, while some judges believe that the law does not grant Trump unlimited power over tariffs.
