Summary
The Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge from businesses against President Trump's tariffs on China imposed in 2018 under a different law than the emergency duties struck down in February. The decision not to review a ruling upholding those tariffs could embolden the administration as it seeks to replace many of the emergency tariffs. Businesses had argued the Trump administration used a "loophole" to impose tariffs beyond what Congress intended.
