Trump Admin Faces Deep Skepticism from Supreme Court on Tariffs
President Donald Trump’s attorney faced deep skepticism from several key conservative justices in early arguments at the Supreme Court over his sweeping global tariffs – a potentially troubling sign for the administration. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in particular, pressed the administration hard on several points, including whether the law at issue in the case authorized Trump to impose his emergency tariffs. Carrie Cordero, CNAS senior fellow and general counsel, joined CNN to discuss the case.
