Tariffs have been Donald Trump's personal crusade. Now, a Supreme Court test

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on virtually all trade partners face Supreme Court review Wednesday. Trump calls it the court’s most important case and, after considering attending arguments, says he’ll skip to avoid distraction. He frames the outcome as existential, telling “60 Minutes” that without tariffs the U.S. would become a “third world nation.” Announced April 2 with a baseline 10% rate under emergency powers, the policy has brought in billions, the administration says, while fueling uncertainty. A Yale estimate pegs household costs at $1,700, and a poll finds more than six in ten disapprove of his handling.
