President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to rule on his administration’s heavy tariffs on America’s trading partners, raising the stakes in a high-profile legal battle.
The appeal follows last week’s divided decision by a federal appeals court, which concluded that the president exceeded his authority when he imposed sweeping tariffs worldwide.
Trump’s legal team argues that if the administration fails to secure a victory, the country will suffer greatly—losing a critical tool to address perceived unfair trade practices.
The case could define the limits of executive power over trade policy, shaping not only domestic commerce but also the United States’ role on the global stage.
With the case primed for the nation’s highest court, businesses, policymakers and global markets alike are watching closely for a verdict that could reshape U.S. trade policy for years to come.
