Trump Pushes Supreme Court to Fast-Track Tariffs Case Against Appeals Court Ruling [WATCH]

The Trump administration has formally requested that the United States Supreme Court hear its case on tariffs and issue an expedited ruling, following a decision last week by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that limited the president’s authority on the matter.

On Wednesday night, Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed the request, asking the Court to determine whether it will review the case by September 10 and, if accepted, to schedule oral arguments for the first week of November.

The appeal comes after the Federal Circuit ruled that Congress—not the president—holds the authority to impose tariffs, though the court placed its decision on hold to allow the administration time to appeal.

President Donald Trump previewed the administration’s move during remarks on Tuesday, saying he wanted the case to move quickly.

“We’re going to be going to the Supreme [Court], … we think tomorrow, because we need an early decision,” Trump said.

“I mean, look [at] the financial fabric of our country. We’re a rich, incredible country right now, and we’re able to, you know, other countries use tariffs on us for years, and we never did.”

At the center of the dispute are tariffs Trump imposed on several U.S. trading partners, which the Appeals Court determined exceeded presidential authority.

The decision stated that tariff powers belong to Congress under existing law.

The administration has argued that the president must be able to act decisively in international trade matters, including imposing tariffs when necessary to protect American industries and workers.

The Appeals Court decision, if allowed to stand, would curtail the executive branch’s ability to unilaterally impose trade penalties, shifting that authority more firmly back to Congress.

However, the court issued a stay, meaning Trump’s tariffs will remain in place until October 14 while the Supreme Court considers whether to take the case.

The administration has asked the Court to fast-track its consideration, citing the economic implications of leaving the matter unresolved.

Sauer argued in his filing that a swift resolution is critical to maintaining stability in trade policy and ensuring the United States can continue to respond to unfair practices by foreign governments.

The case represents one of the most significant legal challenges to Trump’s trade policy since he returned to office.

His administration has used tariffs as a central tool in negotiations with multiple countries, arguing they are necessary to address trade imbalances and protect U.S. jobs.

The Supreme Court now faces the decision of whether to accept the case for review.

If the justices agree, the first arguments could be heard as early as November, with a ruling possible before the end of the year.

Until then, the tariffs currently in effect will remain in place under the Federal Circuit’s stay order.

The outcome of the case could have lasting implications for the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch on trade matters, as well as for U.S. economic policy in the face of global competition.
