The Supreme Court cast serious doubts about President Donald Trump’s ability to impose sweeping tariffs and slapped down a series of arguments made by the administration on Wednesday despite Trump calling the case “literally, LIFE OR DEATH for our Country.”
The justices must decide whether Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose widespread tariffs on imports from more than 100 countries around the globe is legal.
It’s a case that will have dramatic consequences for American consumers and businesses, as well as the president’s power.
During the arguments, the justices, including Trump appointees, appeared deeply skeptical. There were several tense exchanges where they delivered harsh rebukes to U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer’s arguments on behalf of the government.
