Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to quickly review a ruling that struck down his use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs. A federal appeals court said Trump overstepped by relying on the 1977 emergency law, stressing that only Congress can levy tariffs on such a scale, Reuters reported.
The administration argues the measures are vital for economic security and wants the Court to act before September 10, with hearings in November. The tariffs remain in place while the case continues.
The challenge was brought by small businesses and a dozen Democratic-led states, who warned that Trump’s move violated the Constitution. If the Supreme Court sides with them, it could curb Trump’s wider economic agenda.
