Trump’s Tariff Battle Reaches Supreme Court In High-Stakes Global Case. What could be the biggest showdown yet in Donald Trump’s trade war is heading to the US Supreme Court. The administration faces a challenge from small businesses and several states that argue many of Trump’s tariffs are illegal and should be struck down. If the court sides with them, it could unravel the president’s sweeping trade strategy and force the government to refund billions collected through import taxes. The justices are expected to deliberate for months before reaching a final decision. President Trump, who called the case crucial to America’s national security, said he will not attend the hearing to avoid distractions, insisting “It’s not about me, it’s about our country.” Businesses across the US and abroad are watching closely. Toy maker Learning Resources says Trump’s tariffs will cost it $14 million this year, seven times more than in 2024 while companies brace for the court’s high-stakes verdict.
