Supreme Court set to decide fate of Trump's tariffs
The US Supreme Court is about to rule on Donald Trump's global tariffs, which he put in place claiming a national emergency over trade deficits.
The justices recently questioned whether using a 1977 law for these tariffs really holds up, and their decision—coming January 20, 2026—could shake up how presidents use emergency powers for trade.
What's at stake (and who's pushing back)
A bunch of businesses and 12 states say Trump went too far, and lower courts have already agreed with them.
Still, Trump insists the tariffs are good for America and warned overturning them could hurt the country.
This is just one big case on the court's plate—the conservative-majority bench is also tackling challenges to the Voting Rights Act and Colorado's conversion therapy ban, so their rulings could have a major impact across the country.
