Trump Appeals Tariff Ruling to Supreme Court
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to decide if tariffs are legal.
A lower court ruled they were illegal, and the government wants the Supreme Court to change this.
If the lower court's decision stands, it could have significant financial and trade deal implications.
The court is being asked to hear arguments and has the potential to deliver their verdict by the end of 2025.
The Supreme Court must agree to hear the matter.
Trump appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn a federal appeals court ruling.
The appeals court declared Trump's tariffs 'illegal'.
Trump filed a plea late Wednesday seeking a review of the lower court’s order.
The government has requested an accelerated schedule for arguments.
The federal appeals court stated that imposing tariffs was outside of presidential powers.
