Supreme Court Confronts Trump and His Tariffs in Test of Presidential Power
With unusual urgency, the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to President Trump’s use of emergency powers to levy sweeping tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner, a policy that has jolted small businesses and split conservative legal circles. Lower courts have ruled against the administration but left the tariffs in place. Trump, who considered attending arguments, calls the stakes monumental. The justices must weigh broad statutory language, major questions and nondelegation doctrines, and warnings of economic turmoil against claims that long-running trade deficits are not an emergency. A swift ruling could affect presidential power and global commerce.
