WASHINGTON —
The Supreme Court will hear a case in November regarding some of President Donald Trump's tariffs, which remain in place despite being deemed unlawful by an appeals court.
The case is moving to the highest court because two lower courts agreed the president did not have the power to impose all tariffs under an emergency powers law, and a divided appeals court left the import taxes in place . Advertisement
The Trump administration asked the justices to intervene quickly, arguing the law gives him the power to regulate imports and striking down the tariffs would put the country on "the brink of economic catastrophe."
If the Supreme Court strikes down these tariffs, the federal government could have to pay back many of the taxes it collected from companies that import for
