The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will quickly decide whether most of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs — a key part of his economic agenda — are legal.
The revelation follows the Trump administration’s request for the nation’s highest court to take up its appeal of a lower ruling. The Supreme Court scheduled oral arguments for the first week of its November session.
A federal appeals court ruled in August that Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to impose new tariffs on imported goods. The court said that power lies squarely with Congress or within existing trade policy frameworks. The court allowed the tariffs to remain in effect until mid-October.
