Supreme Court to Hear Trump Tariff Case on November 5
The US Supreme Court is going to decide if the tariffs that former President Trump put on goods from other countries were legal.
These tariffs were put in place using a law meant for national emergencies.
The court will look at whether the President had the power to do this without getting approval from Congress.
A toy company also has a related case claiming they have been harmed by the tariffs.
The court’s decision will impact future presidents and how they can handle trade and economic policy.
The Supreme Court will hear a case about the legality of Trump's tariffs.
The hearing is scheduled for November 5.
The case centers on the use of IEEPA to impose tariffs.
A federal appeals court previously ruled Trump exceeded his authority.
A related case by a toy company will also be heard.
