Trump administration to go to Supreme Court on Friday if unable to block tariff ruling

The Donald Trump administration says it will go to the Supreme Court on Friday if it is unable to block the tariffs ruling

Three judges ruled on Wednesday that Trump overstepped his authority when he used an emergency law to impose tariffs on nearly every country, in a major blow to his economic policies

The ruling raises the real question about whether Trump’s wider so-called reciprocal tariffs will ever come into effect, writes our economics editor Faisal Islam

The case was launched by a group of US businesses and states, and leaves the White House with 10 days to formally reverse the levies

Moments after the ruling, the Trump administration said it was “not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency”
