Trump Seeks Expedited Supreme Court Ruling On Illegal Tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his administration will seek an expedited ruling from the Supreme Court to overturn a recent appeals court decision that declared most of his global tariffs illegal. Trump emphasized the critical importance of maintaining tariffs, warning that their removal could reduce the U.S. to a 'third-world country' and trigger severe economic consequences. The appeals court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority under an emergency powers law, a decision Trump strongly disputes, calling it a 'very shocking' and liberal ruling that threatens the trillions collected through tariffs. In response, Trump plans to hold an emergency meeting to address the tariff ruling and its implications, underscoring his administration's commitment to defending the tariffs as an economic necessity. The legal battle highlights ongoing tensions over U.S. trade policy and executive authority in imposing tariffs. Trump’s firm stance signals a continued aggressive approach to trade enforcement and economic protectionism.
