US Supreme Court tariff decision LIVE: The US Supreme Court on Wednesday (January 14) issued three decisions but did not rule on the closely watched legal challenge to President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.
The court did not indicate when it would take up the case or announce the next date for issuing rulings. As is customary, the Supreme Court does not disclose in advance which decisions will be released on a given day.
The dispute over Trump’s tariffs represents a major test of presidential authority and the Supreme Court’s willingness to rein in expansive claims of executive power since Trump returned to office in January 2025.
Months after assuming office for a second term, Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on the US’ trading partners, sparking global trade tensions.
Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on almost every major economy also sparked legal challenge that questioned the extent of his presidential authority and the legality of the tariffs imposed.
Ahead of the SCOTUS verdict, Trump warned that any decision striking down his tariffs would spell disaster for the US, writing unequivocally, “WE’RE SCREWED”.
