Trump appeals to US Supreme Court to rule on legality of tariffs
Published: 9/4/2025

President Trump appeals to the US Supreme Court regarding the legality of his tariffs, which have been contested in lower courts for exceeding his presidential powers. The case may have significant implications for US trade policy and could require the US to reimburse billions in tariffs. The Supreme Court is being asked to rule on whether Trump acted within his authority in imposing these tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. If the Supreme Court denies the review, the lower court's ruling against the tariffs could take effect, potentially impacting trade relationships with key countries like Canada, Mexico, and China.
