US EditionTrump says he won’t attend Supreme Court arguments on tariff case
- Soon, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether President Donald Trump overstepped the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in setting tariffs during an extended 80-minute session.
- Trump has repeatedly used tariffs as a lever in foreign-policy disputes, pressuring Brazil and punishing Ontario with tariffs earlier this year.
- The Justice Department argued the administration warns that undoing Trump's tariffs could jeopardize `trillions of dollars` in foreign investments, citing $600 billion and $1 trillion pledged by the European Union and Japan and South Korea, respectively.
- White House spokesman Kush Desai defended the moves as lawful, while Karoline Leavitt said the trade team has backup plans and President Donald Trump skipped the arguments to avoid distraction.
- Legal scholars note the lack of precedent for broad tariff use, the U.S. Supreme Court has shown reluctance to check wide executive powers, and the administration could pivot to slower statutory routes requiring months.
