WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump says it would be “devastating” for the United States if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against his favourite tariff tool.
The court is hearing arguments this week related to two separate legal challenges of Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for tariffs, including the fentanyl-related duties applied to Canada.
Trump’s lawyer faced pointed questions from the conservative-led U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, with many justices voicing skepticism about the president’s use of a national security statute to pursue his tariff agenda.
Liberal and conservative justices pushed Trump’s lawyer to explain why the president would use the law when it doesn’t mention the word “tariff” or any of its synonyms.
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office today that tariffs are “so important.”
America’s top court could have until June to issue a ruling but it’s expected to come much sooner.
