The Government asked the Court to accelerate its review by deciding whether it dealt with the case before September 10 and celebrating the allegations in November. The new mandate of the court begins on October 6.
“What is at stake in this case could not be more important,” said Attorney General D. John Sauer in a written presentation.
“The president and his cabinet have determined that tariffs are promoting peace and an unprecedented economic prosperity, and that the denial of the tariff authority would expose our nation to commercial reprisals without effective defenses and push the United States again to the edge of the economic catastrophe,” Sauer added.
The lawyers of the small businesses that challenge tariffs do not oppose the government’s request that the Supreme Court celebrates a view. One of the lawyers, Jeffrey Schwab, of the Liberty Justice Center, said in a statement that they will prevail.
“These illegal tariffs are causing serious damage to small businesses and endangering their survival. We expect a prompt resolution of this case for our clients,” Schwab said.
The taxes are part of a commercial war instigated by Trump since he returned to the presidency in January that has alienated commercial partners, increased volatility in financial markets and fed world economic uncertainty.
Trump has made tariffs a pillar of American foreign policy, using them to exercise political pressure, renegotiate trade agreements and extract concessions from countries that export goods to the United States.
Litigation refers to the use of Trump of the IEEPA to impose what Trump calls “reciprocal” tariffs to deal with commercial deficits in April, as well as separate tariffs announced in February as an economic lever on China, Canada and Mexico to curb the traffic of fentanil and illicit drugs to the United States.
