Supreme Court Weighs Trump Tariffs and Presidential Powers

The Supreme Court is set to hear a pivotal case on President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs — a showdown that could reshape U.S. trade policy and redefine the limits of presidential power.

A coalition of American importers and small business owners argues that the president overstepped his authority by invoking emergency economic powers to impose tariffs, driving up costs for companies and consumers.

Lower courts have questioned whether such broad measures are permitted under existing law, setting the stage for a major test of executive power.

The administration maintains the tariffs are lawful and says they will remain in place regardless of the outcome.

The ruling could alter global markets and determine who ultimately sets the rules for America’s economic future.
