President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday evening to quickly enter and decide an appointment that increases the decisions of the lower court that most of his tariffs are illegal.
The application takes place five days after the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circle in a 7: 4 judgment that Trump exceeded its authority when he implemented the steep taxes for practically every country.
This decision questioned a central pillar of Trump’s trade agenda.
Trump asks the Supreme Court to hear arguments on his calling at the beginning of November and to make a final decision on the legality of the controversial tariffs, provided the plaintiffs submitted the plaintiffs in this case.
Usually the Supreme Court would take the next summer to make such a decision.
In a statement, the Finance Minister Scott Bessent said that Trump’s application was attached to the fact that the President’s ability to carry out real diplomacy and seriously undermine its ability to protect the United States’ national security and economy, “said the submission.
Trump’s submissions also state that “the delay of a judgment until June 2026 could lead to a scenario in which tariffs of $ 750 billion and $ 1 trillion have already been collected and can relax to cause considerable disorders”.

Trump used the law on international emergency management powers or the IEPA to impose strong taxes on trading partners, and declared the federal deficit of the United States with other nations on a national emergency.
However, the Court of Appeal said that “tariffs are a central authority of congress”, not a presidential authority.
“The core authority of the congress to impose taxes such as tariffs is only classified by the constitution in the legislative,” said the court.
The Court of Appeal held its decision from the entry into force until October 14th and gave Trump time to ask the Supreme Court to hear his appointment, and the High Court, possibly enact an indefinite stay of the decision until it eliminates the appeal.
Jeffrey Schwab, Senior Counsel in the Liberty Justice Center, which represented the plaintiffs who successfully blocked the tariffs, said in a statement: “The government has now asked the Supreme Court to check this case. Both federal courts that took the problem into account that IEPA did not give the president uncontrolled Tariff authority.”
“We are confident that our legal arguments against the so -called tariffs of the liberation day will ultimately prevail,” said Schwab.
“These illegal tariffs cause serious damage and endanger their survival. We hope for an immediate solution to this case for our customers.”
