President Donald Trump said his administration would ask the Supreme Court for an expedited ruling in hopes of overturning a federal court decision that many of his tariffs were illegally imposed, arguing it is essential to keep his trade policy intact.
Trump told reporters that the US would appeal to the high court for relief as soon as Wednesday because “it would be a devastation for our country” if the appeals court ruling was left in place.
“We’re going to be going to the Supreme Court, we think tomorrow, because we need an early decision,” Trump said Tuesday in the Oval Office. “We’re going to ask for an expedited ruling.”
The president’s comments follow a ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday that Trump wrongfully invoked an emergency law for the so-called reciprocal tariffs he imposed on imports from dozens of trading partners as well as levies on Chinese, Canadian and Mexican goods he said were intended to address cross-border fentanyl trafficking.
