Trump urges Supreme Court to uphold tariffs in fast-track ruling
Los Angeles Times
|September 05, 2025
President Trump has asked the Supreme Court for a fast-track ruling that he has broad power acting on his own to impose tariffs on products coming from countries around the world.
PRESIDENT TRUMP has asked justices to decide by Wednesday whether to grant a review of his appeal.
Despite losing in the lower courts, Trump and his lawyers have reason to believe they can win in the Supreme Court. The six conservative justices believe in strong presidential power, particularly in the area of foreign policy and national security.
In a three-page appeal filed Wednesday evening, they proposed that the court decide by Wednesday to grant review and to hear arguments in early November.
They said the lower-court setbacks, unless quickly reversed, “gravely undermine the President's ability to conduct real-world diplomacy and his ability to protect the national security and economy of the United States.”
They cited Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s warning about the potential for economic disruption if the court does not act soon.
“Delaying a ruling until June 26 could result in a scenario in which $750 billion-$1 trillion have already been collected and unwinding them could cause significant disruption,” he wrote.
