- The Trump administration is preparing for a Supreme Court battle that could reshape presidential power by deciding the extent of the executive branch’s authority over tariffs, which was originally granted to Congress by the Constitution. The administration appealed after many of its recent tariffs were invalidated by a federal trade court, which argued the president’s actions were too sweeping and cut into Congress’ authority.
President Donald Trump’s struck-down tariffs are almost guaranteed to end up before the Supreme Court, experts say, and the outcome is a toss-up that could shape presidential power for years to come.
