U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled on the legality of Trump's tariffs; next opinion release scheduled for next Tuesday or Wednesday
Odaily Planet Daily News The U.S. Supreme Court did not issue a ruling on the legality of President Trump's tariff policy on Wednesday, meaning the final fate of this signature economic policy won't be known until at least next week. The court has not announced the next time it will release opinions, but it will likely be scheduled for next Tuesday or Wednesday when the justices reconvene. During arguments on November 5, the debate showed the court was skeptical about whether Trump had the authority to impose tariffs under a 1977 law. A ruling against Trump could result in refunds exceeding $130 billion. (Jin10)
