Trump to seek 'expedited ruling' from SCOTUS on tariffs case

President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirmed that his administration would seek an "expedited ruling" on the federal case involving his authority to issue tariffs after an appeals court ruled against him.

"We're going to be going to the supreme what we think tomorrow, because we need an early decision. I mean, look the the financial fabric of our country. We're a rich, incredible country right now, and we're able to, you know, other countries use tariffs on us for years, and we never did," he added.

Trump further pointed to what he called the partisanship of the appeals court and highlighted that an Obama-appointed judge had sided with the administration on the matter.

"And now it's going to the Supreme Court. Now we're going to be asking for early admittance, where we're going tomorrow, and we're going to ask for expedited, an expedited ruling," Trump went on.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit last week determined that Trump lacked the authority to impose tariffs, but placed the decision on hold to give the administration time to appeal.
