Supreme Court to quickly consider if Trump has power to impose sweeping tariffs [View all]

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted an unusually quick hearing on whether Trump has the power to impose sweeping tariffs under federal law.

The justices will hear arguments in November, lightning fast by the typical standards of the nation’s highest court.

The small businesses and states that challenged the tariffs in court also agreed to the accelerated timetable. They say Trump illegally used emergency powers to set import taxes on goods from nearly every country in the world, nearly driving their businesses to bankruptcy.
