Trump Tells Supreme Court No Need To Rush To Consider Tariffs
President Donald Trump's administration urged the US Supreme Court to turn away a request for fast-track review of his sweeping tariffs, saying the justices should give lower courts more time to weigh in.
The filing comes a day after two family-owned businesses asked the court to hear their challenge on an unusually quick schedule, without waiting for a federal appeals court to rule. The companies suggested the justices decide before their summer recess starts in about two weeks whether to hear the case.
In a seven-page response Wednesday, US Solicitor General D. John Sauer said the companies “have not justified such a stark departure from established practice.”
The request by educational-toy makers Learning Resources Inc. and hand2mind Inc. put Trump's tariffs, which have worldwide economic implications, before the justices for the first time. A federal district judge agreed with the companies that Trump lacked authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to issue the import taxes.
A federal appeals court in a separate case has said the tariffs could stay in effect at least until that panel hears arguments July 31. In the new filing, the Trump administration said the Supreme Court should let that court hold arguments and rule before getting involved.
Both court clashes cover Trump's April 2 “Liberation Day” tariffs — which combine a universal baseline levy of 10% with potentially much bigger rates for various trading partners. Each suit also concerns at least some of Trump's separate import taxes over fentanyl trafficking.
The case is Learning Resources v. Trump, 24-1287.
