The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted the Trump administration’s request to hear its appeal of lower court rulings that many of President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs are illegal.
The Supreme Court also agreed with the administration’s request to consider the appeal on a faster-than-normal timeline.
The court said it would hear oral arguments in the first week of its November argument session.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a 7-4 ruling on Aug. 29 said that Trump usurped the authority of Congress to impose tariffs when he slapped steep duties on imports from many countries earlier this year.
