WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is granting an unusually quick hearing on whether President Donald Trump has the power under federal law to impose sweeping tariffs.
The justices agreed Tuesday to hear the case in November, lightning fast by the usual standards of the nation’s highest court.
The small businesses and states that challenged the tariffs in court also agreed to the fast timetable.
They say Trump illegally used emergency powers to set import taxes on nearly every country in the world, nearly driving their businesses to bankruptcy.
Two lower courts have found most of the tariffs were illegally imposed, though a 7-4 appeals court has left them in place for now.
