The Trump government asked the Supreme Court to decide quickly about tariffs under emergency law. An appeals court said Trump used too much power when he made these tariffs. The court voted 7-4 against Trump.

There are two types of tariffs: different rates for different countries (10% to 34%) and 25% tariffs on goods from Canada, China, and Mexico. Five businesses and twelve states are fighting against Trump's emergency law use. The Supreme Court has six conservative judges.

Even if Trump loses, he might find other ways to make tariffs.
