U.S. Supreme Court Sets Friday as Date for Ruling on Tariff Issue

Odaily News The U.S. Supreme Court has designated this Friday as the day for releasing opinions, marking the first opportunity for a ruling on President Trump's global tariff policy.

The court's website announced this as the justices return from a four-week recess. The court never reveals in advance which opinions are ready, stating only that rulings in argued cases may be issued when the justices convene at 10:00 AM Washington time.

Given the expedited procedures the court has applied to the case so far, the tariff case is highly likely to be decided that day. A ruling against Trump would undermine his signature economic policy and represent his most significant legal setback since returning to the White House.

The core dispute centers on the tariffs Trump implemented on April 2, "Emancipation Day" — a policy imposing 10% to 50% tariffs on most imports, with additional tariffs levied on Canada and Mexico under the guise of combating fentanyl smuggling. (Jin10)
