The Supreme Court of the United States has not made a ruling on the Trump tariff case. The next window for a decision will be at least one month later.
The United States Supreme Court did not rule on the legality of President Donald Trump's tariff policy on Tuesday, meaning that it may be at least another month before a decision is reached in this case. The Supreme Court is preparing to enter a four-week recess, and according to customary procedures for issuing opinions, the next possible day for a decision on tariffs is February 20th. Arguments on November 5th indicated that the court was skeptical about whether Trump had the authority to impose tariffs under the 1977 Emergency Powers Act. The expedited handling of this case by the Supreme Court had raised hopes among opponents that an unfavorable ruling for Trump could be reached quickly. If the Supreme Court rules against Trump, it would be his biggest legal setback since returning to the White House, and could potentially open a pathway for over $130 billion in tax refunds. The norm for the Supreme Court is to release opinions on cases that have been heard in court. Although the justices will hear arguments on Wednesday regarding Trump's attempt to dismiss Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, the court does not plan to release opinions on that day. After Wednesday, the justices do not have any formal meetings scheduled until February 20th.
