President Donald Trump is turning to the Supreme Court to clarify his tariff power quickly.
On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled 7-4 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump cited to issue his “Liberation Day” tariffs and tariffs aimed at Canada, Mexico, and China, does not grant the president the power to levy tariffs and ruled those tariffs unlawful. Trump denounced the ruling and promised to take the matter to the Supreme Court, which he did on Wednesday.
