The U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for November 5, 2025, to examine the legality of former President Donald Trump’s expansive global tariffs. This case represents a pivotal moment in assessing the extent of executive power, a cornerstone of Trump’s economic and trade policies. The decision to hear the case follows a ruling by a lower court that Trump exceeded his authority in implementing most of these tariffs under a federal law designed for emergency situations. The Supreme Court, which commences its next term on October 6, will also concurrently address a separate challenge to Trump’s tariffs brought by Learning Resources, a family-owned toy company. This dual examination underscores the significant legal and economic implications of Trump’s tariff policies, which have been a subject of intense debate and litigation.
