NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
As tariffs continue to sit center stage across supply chains, the legality of Trump's sweeping tariffs is being scrutinized in court.
Here are the latest developments:
- Last week, a federal appeals court ruled that Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs was illegal. However, any related actions are delayed until mid-October.
- In response, the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to quickly decide whether his tariffs were legal.
- In the petition, the administration proposed for government arguments to be filed by Sept. 19, and the plaintiffs’ counterarguments on Oct. 20. Oral arguments were suggested to start the first week of November.
