A Trump Decision That Will Impact Bitcoin and Altcoins Was Expected Today from the US – The Latest Situation Has Been Revealed

The US Supreme Court did not issue a ruling today in a critical case testing the legality of the comprehensive tariffs President Donald Trump has imposed globally.

The court issued a ruling on only one criminal case that day. The Supreme Court does not announce in advance which cases will be decided.

The case is seen as a crucial turning point, testing the limits of Trump’s broad claims to power, which he aims to assert by January 2025 upon his return to office, and the extent to which the Supreme Court is willing to block them. The outcome of the case has the potential to impact not only US domestic law but also the global economy.

During a hearing on November 5, both conservative and liberal judges reportedly expressed doubts about the legal basis for the tariffs. The Trump administration is appealing lower court rulings that have determined the president exceeded his authority.

Trump, however, argues that tariffs strengthen the US financially. In a social media post on January 2, the president said that a Supreme Court ruling against the tariffs would be a “terrible blow” to the US.

Trump implemented what he called “reciprocal” tariffs on goods imported from nearly all trading partners under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), declaring trade deficits a “national emergency.” The same law was used to justify tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, citing illegal drug trafficking as a national emergency.

The cases before the Supreme Court were filed by companies affected by the tariffs and by 12 US states, most of which are governed by Democrats. No timeline for the decision has yet been announced.
