US Supreme Court to Decide on Trump’s Tariffs

The United States Supreme Court has agreed on Tuesday (9) to review the legality of the global tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, paving the way for a decision that will define the future of a key piece of the Republican president’s economic agenda. The judges accepted the Department of Justice’s appeal against a lower court decision that deemed Trump to have exceeded his authority by adopting most of the tariffs based on a federal law intended for emergency situations. The case, involving trillions of dollars in customs duties over the next decade, was put on a fast track, with oral arguments scheduled for the first week of November. The Court also agreed to assess a separate lawsuit against the tariffs filed by the family-owned toy manufacturer Learning Resources.
