US EditionGet the Facts: 3 Charts to Show the Effect of President Donald Trump's Tariffs
The Supreme Court weighs whether tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act have raised $195 billion in revenue despite job losses and rising inflation.
- On Nov 5, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments testing President Donald Trump's authority to impose tariffs, with the case examining legal and economic implications.
- IEEPA, a Carter-era law, grants emergency economic powers and the Trump administration invoked it to impose sweeping tariffs, which challengers and lower courts say is unlawful since the statute never mentions tariffs.
- Treasury data show the U.S. Treasury Department collected $195 billion in customs duties in fiscal year 2025, more than double the $77 billion in fiscal year 2024, while imports reached $342.7 billion in March 2025 ahead of the April 2 tariff announcement.
- U.S. importers report most tariff costs fall on them amid volatile rates from 30% to over 100%, while factory employment dropped over 40,000 since April and the ISM manufacturing index fell.
- The administration warns of dire consequences if the tariffs are struck down, while the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has allowed their temporary effect via the emergency docket; Kathleen Claussen says the president could use other statutes despite challenges from businesses and states.
