About this episode
This episode examines the legal arguments surrounding a US Supreme Court case on tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration.
Trade, tariffs, and the courts: On this month’s episode of The Legal Impact, we examine the arguments behind a US Supreme Court case over extensive tariffs put in place by the Trump Administration in early 2025. Lower courts have ruled that the White House overstepped its authority under the law it used to justify the tariffs. But even if the Administration loses before the High Court, it has other legal tools at its disposal that it can use to impose tariffs, which may be less vulnerable to lawsuits.
