The U.S. Supreme Court will announce its ruling on Trump's tariff policy next Tuesday. If it fails to release the ruling, it will be delayed for at least another month. The decision in this case could impact Trump's economic agenda, particularly the tariff measures he announced on April 2. If the ruling is unfavorable to Trump, it could lead to over $13 billion in tariff refunds. Market risk warning, investment should be cautious

The U.S. Supreme Court has set Tuesday as the date for its next announcement of rulings, with the world waiting for the decision regarding President Trump's signature tariff policy.

As is customary, the Supreme Court will not indicate in advance which cases are ready for ruling, only stating that decisions may be announced when the justices enter the courtroom at 10 a.m. Washington time.

If the ruling on the tariff case is not announced next week, it is likely to be delayed for at least another month. The justices typically enter the courtroom only to issue opinions on cases that have been heard, and Wednesday will be the last court session before the next term, after which the court will recess until February 20.

If the Supreme Court issues a ruling on tariffs that is unfavorable to Trump, it would undermine a core pillar of his economic agenda and represent his biggest legal defeat since returning to the White House. The controversy centers around the "Day of Liberation" tariff measures announced by Trump on April 2, which impose tariffs of 10% to 50% on most imported goods.

During the oral arguments on November 5, the U.S. Supreme Court expressed skepticism about whether Trump has the authority to impose these tariffs under a 1977 law that grants the president special powers in emergencies. If the final ruling is unfavorable to Trump, it could open the door for refunds on tariffs exceeding $130 billion.
