Supreme Court to Hear Challenge on Trump's Global Tariffs. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in November on whether Donald Trump had the legal authority to impose sweeping global tariffs — a decision that could reshape his signature trade policy. The case stems from Trump's use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to levy tariffs of up to 50% on dozens of U.S. trading partners, including China, Mexico and Canada. A federal appeals court ruled last month that Trump overstepped his powers, saying tariff authority rests with Congress. But the Supreme Court's conservative majority has often sided with Trump on emergency orders, making this a major test of presidential authority. If the justices strike down the tariffs, the U.S. may be forced to refund billions of dollars collected from import taxes, potentially disrupting trade agreements with allies such as the UK and Japan. Trump has defended his actions, arguing trade imbalances threaten national security, and vowed negotiations with partners like India will continue.
