US EditionOregon's Lawsuit Challenging 'Unlawful' Trump Tariffs to Go Before U.S. Supreme Court
The Supreme Court will examine if the International Emergency Economic Powers Act lets the president impose tariffs, with 12 states and small businesses challenging the authority.
- On Nov. 5, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Learning Resources v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections challenging President Donald Trump's tariff authority under IEEPA.
- President Donald Trump relied on the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act and issued executive orders beginning in February declaring national emergencies to justify tariffs on goods from nearly every country, as IEEPA permits action against unusual threats largely from outside the U.S.
- The tariffs were structured in two categories, with the administration dividing them into 'trafficking' tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico, China and 'worldwide' tariffs setting a baseline 10% tariff and higher rates up to 11%–50%.
- The Court of International Trade on May 28 ruled for small businesses and 12 states, setting aside tariffs while the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed the ruling during appeals.
- Small businesses led by V.O.S. Selections, Learning Resources and hand2mind warn that tariffs amount to more than a $3 trillion tax increase and say they'd need at least 70% price hikes, while the administration argues overturning tariffs would unravel deals worth trillions.
