When will the Supreme Court decide on this matter?
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments from the parties in a landmark case regarding the president's right to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which allows for the introduction of sanctions and other economic measures in response to extraordinary and exceptional threats. The case concerns tariffs imposed by Trump on products from almost all countries in the world. The president argued that such decisions would pose an “exceptional threat” in the form of a permanent trade deficit.
Two lower courts found Trump's tariffs illegal, and questions and comments by a majority of Supreme Court justices suggested they held a similar view.
