Trump asked the Supreme Court to speed up the decision on the tariff after the decline of the Appeal Court

President Donald Trump’s administration has submitted a petition to the US Supreme Court for accelerated decisions to enforce its sweeping tariff program, warning that the new appeal decision has weakened American trade negotiations.

In submission on Wednesday, lawyer General John Sauer urged the judge to move quickly. “Speed ​​up the resolution of this case to a decent maximum level, given the importance of quickly confirming the full legal position of the presidential tariff,” Sauer wrote.

The appeal follows the 7-4 decision by the US appeal court for the Federal Circuit, which concluded that Trump exceeded his authority when he used the emergency economic power to impose a broad new rate. Although the judges allowed the levies to remain in their place during mid -October, the decision to open the door for legal challenges that could reveal the Trump signature trading policy.

Since returning to the president, Trump relies on the International Emergency Economy Strength Act (IEEPA) to force what he calls the “reciprocal” tariff of 10 percent baseline on almost all US trading partners, with higher rates targeting dozens of economies including the European Union and Japan. He also asked for action to slap separate tariffs in Mexico, Canada and China, quoting the flow of deadly drugs to the United States.

The appeal court decision not only rejected Trump’s interpretation of Ieepa but also increased the uncertainty of more than billions of dollars that had been collected in tariff income. Further doubts the agreement that has been covered by administration with partners such as EU, an agreement that depends on the legality of the task.

Minister of Finance Scott Besent, in a declaration that accompanied the petition, warned that the decision had paralyzed the US negotiator. He wrote that it had disarmed the administration of “Leverage Substantial Negotiations.”

The submission of the lawyer General requested that the Supreme Court to hear the oral argument in early November, giving a majority conservative bench the opportunity to decide whether the use of Trump’s extensive emergency strength could stand.
