SCOTUS does not rule on Trump tariff case; plans for more rulings next Wednesday
The tariff case is considered one of the most consequential trade law cases in decades because Trump's tariff program has reshaped global trade and raised fundamental questions about executive power.
The Supreme Court issued one ruling on Friday that was in a criminal case and has scheduled its next ruling for next week as it continues to debate President Donald Trump's tariff case.
The tariff case is considered one of the most consequential trade law cases in decades because Trump's tariff program has reshaped global trade and raised fundamental questions about executive power.
The court indicated on its website that the justices could release decisions in argued cases when they take the bench during a scheduled sitting next Wednesday, Jan. 14, according to Reuters. The court did not indicate what rulings it would hand down, but the panel heard the tariff case in November.
Trump issued the tariffs last year by declaring a national emergency related to the trade deficit and invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. However, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled last May that the administration had overstepped the bounds of the IEEPA. A federal appeals court later affirmed the decision.
