The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday night to urgently review a case on the legality of tariffs imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The request follows an August 29 ruling by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals that found Trump exceeded his authority, noting the law had never been used to levy tariffs. The administration is seeking a decision by September 10 and oral arguments in November. The tariffs - central to Trump’s trade and foreign policy - were aimed at addressing deficits and drug trafficking, particularly with China, Canada, and Mexico. Lower courts have ruled that IEEPA does not grant presidents unlimited tariff powers, citing the “major questions” doctrine. At least eight lawsuits are challenging the measures, with potential consequences for Trump’s broader economic agenda.
