USA: Supreme Court to Rule in November on Trump’s Tariffs
The Supreme Court of the United States announced on Tuesday that it will consider the legality of the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump at the beginning of November.
Based on a request from the Republican administration, the country’s highest judicial authority agreed to examine the case urgently and scheduled a session for the first week of November, according to American media sources.
The government clarified that abolishing these tariffs could harm ongoing trade negotiations with the United States’ partners.
This development follows a federal appeals court ruling in Washington at the end of August, which stated that a significant portion of the additional tariffs implemented by Trump since the beginning of his term was illegal. However, the court allowed them to remain in effect until a final decision is made by the Supreme Court.
The judges held that the Economic Emergency Act of 1977 does not grant the president the authority to impose tariffs, as this power is exclusively reserved for Congress.
According to the American press, even if Trump loses in the Supreme Court, he may resort to other legislative mechanisms to reintroduce similar measures, although this would require time and additional administrative procedures.
Since his return to the White House last January, the president has already imposed new tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on various products, depending on the countries and sectors involved.
