‘Most important case ever’: Looming Supreme Court decision could cripple Trump's agenda
The Supreme Court's anticipated decisions in 2026, including one important case, could lessen President Donald Trump's economic agenda.
Trump has attempted to block lower court rulings and landed several legal victories, however, his Supreme Court tariff case could change the direction of his main policy behind ramped up tariffs, according to an Axios report published Thursday.
"SCOTUS will decide the legality of Trump declaring a national emergency to impose sweeping tariffs on foreign goods without congressional approval, in what he has called the "most important case ever" in Learning Resources v. Trump," Axios reported.
If the justices rule against Trump, then it would force the government to refund the more than $100 billion in tariffs. That amount has already been collected and would reduce Trump's moves to use declared emergencies using the court's emergency docket, which he has done throughout his first year in office after returning for his second presidential term.
Several companies, including Bumble Bee Foods, Costco, Ray-Ban and Revlon have sued the administration to seek refunds over the tariffs if the high court decision strikes them down.
Trump has complained that ""Evil, American hating Forces are fighting us at the United States Supreme Court," and posted on his Truth Social platform in November that he had hoped the high court would rule in his favor.
"Pray to God that our Nine Justices will show great wisdom, and do the right thing for America!" Trump wrote.
