The U.S. Supreme Court was asked by two Illinois-based toy companies to hear a challenge against President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs, particularly those imposed under an emergency powers law targeting China. The companies sought to expedite the Court's review, requesting oral arguments as early as this fall, aiming for a quick decision on the legality of the tariffs before the lower courts complete their appeals process. This marks the first time the Supreme Court has been asked to consider striking down these tariffs, which involve hundreds of billions of dollars and have broad economic implications worldwide. However, on June 20, 2025, the Supreme Court declined to fast-track the case, refusing to expedite its consideration or hear the challenge before the D.C. Circuit and other lower courts have ruled. The Court's decision means the legal battle over the tariffs will proceed through the usual appellate process without immediate Supreme Court intervention.
