Trump Says US Would Be on 'Brink of Economic Catastrophe' Unless Justices Rule His Tariffs Are Legal

President Trump urges the Supreme Court to uphold tariffs imposed under emergency powers, citing $159 billion in revenue by August and risks to trade negotiations and national security.

  • President Donald Trump has requested a fast-track ruling from the Supreme Court to affirm his power to impose tariffs, stating that the country would be on 'the brink of economic catastrophe' without them.
  • The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs under the 1977 law, which does not explicitly mention tariffs.
  • Solicitor General D. John Sauer warned that eliminating the tariffs could lead the U.S. to a fiscal crisis, stating it could thrust America back to 'the brink of economic catastrophe.'
  • Businesses have challenged the tariffs, claiming they are hurting U.S. companies and raising consumer prices, while some judges believe that the law does not grant Trump unlimited power over tariffs.
