The decision delay means the legal uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs will continue, leaving global markets and trade relations in a state of anticipation. The court has not indicated when it will announce its ruling.

The US Supreme Court will not issue a ruling on Friday (January 9), in a high-profile case challenging the legality of President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs.

The case, which tests the limits of presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, had drawn close attention from businesses, investors, and international trading partners.

    This. The Supreme Court already ruled that Trump cannot be held liable for crimes he may commit while doing his job as president.

      Well, yes, but also that wouldn’t have applied in this case anyway. Politicians manage the public purse, they’re not personally liable for it.
