![A chart showing a survey of US adults on how Trump is handling certain policy issues.]() Trump’s economic agenda hangs in the balance as the Supreme Court this week takes up a challenge to his sweeping tariffs. The justices on Wednesday will hear arguments in a pair of cases contesting Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose global levies. At stake in the case is $90 billion
(and counting) in tariff revenue that Trump predicted the US would have
to “pay back” if the case doesn’t go his way — not to mention that an
unfavorable ruling would rob Trump of leverage in negotiations with
trading partners; in his 60 Minutes interview, the president
predicted the US economy “will go to hell” if SCOTUS rules against him.
Meanwhile, inside the court, the outnumbered liberal justices are at odds over how to wield their limited influence as the high-stakes Trump cases pile up, The New York Times reported. |
