The decision delay means the legal uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs will continue, leaving global markets and trade relations in a state of anticipation. The court has not indicated when it will announce its ruling.

The US Supreme Court will not issue a ruling on Friday (January 9), in a high-profile case challenging the legality of President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs.

The case, which tests the limits of presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, had drawn close attention from businesses, investors, and international trading partners.

    It’s not Trump that will be sued to pay back the money unconstitutionally taken, it is the U.S., and the money will come from your tax dollars.

      This. The Supreme Court already ruled that Trump cannot be held liable for crimes he may commit while doing his job as president.

        Well, yes, but also that wouldn’t have applied in this case anyway. Politicians manage the public purse, they’re not personally liable for it.

      They already took our tax dollars in the form of added tariffs and in no case is it coming back to us. The money certainly isn’t going to do more good in Trump’s hands. He’s already been trying to frame it as a presidential slush fund.
