In response to the court ruling, the Trump administration prepared a tariff contingency plan.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that as the US Supreme Court may reject a key tariff authorization, the Trump administration is reportedly secretly preparing contingency plans to reinstate tariffs as soon as possible. According to US officials familiar with the matter, the Department of Commerce and the Office of the US Trade Representative have studied alternatives in case of a potential loss, including initiating tariffs under Sections 301 and 122 of the Trade Act—these provisions grant the president the power to unilaterally impose tariffs.
