Lower federal courts ruled that Trump's invocation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was insufficient to impose so-called reciprocal tariffs on imported goods from many U.S. trading partners. The court stated that Congress, not the president, has the authority to impose tariffs in this manner. These tariffs start at 10% for many countries and can be as high as 50% for goods from India and Brazil. The Supreme Court case is seen as a critical legal test for Trump. During his second term in the White House, the Supreme Court has made some rulings favorable to him on other policies. Conservative justices hold a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. Trump insists that tariffs are crucial for protecting the U.S. economy and citizens and can strongly incentivize companies to produce goods in the United States. On Tuesday, Trump posted on social media: "The case before the U.S. Supreme Court tomorrow is truly a matter of life and death for our country. If we win, we will have a strong and fair financial and national security." "Without these, we can hardly withstand other countries that have taken advantage of us for years. Our stock market is continually hitting historic highs, and our country has never been more respected than it is now," he said. "This is largely due to the economic security brought by tariffs and the agreements we have reached as a result." Critics of the tariffs point out that the economic losses are not borne by foreign manufacturers but by U.S. importers, who pay the tariffs upfront and then pass most of the additional costs onto American consumers. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bansen is scheduled to attend the oral arguments on Wednesday. Trump had previously indicated he was considering attending, which would mark the first public appearance of a sitting president. On Sunday, he stated on Truth Social: "I will not be going to court on Wednesday because I do not want to distract people from this important ruling." He wrote: "In my opinion, this will be one of the most important and far-reaching rulings ever made by the U.S. Supreme Court." ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Trump: I think we'll make a deal with them pretty soon…](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280929294.md) - [Report reveals inflation will come roaring back under Trump](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281421192.md) - [Macron says Trump cannot keep "contradicting" himself every day on Iran](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281512846.md) - [Dem Lawyer Suggests Trump May Have Had Sinister Reason For Showing Up At SCOTUS: ‘He’s Watching’](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281427706.md) - [ACLU Welcomes Trump To SCOTUS Hearing To ‘School Him’ On Constitution](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281386822.md)
