Supreme Court rejects toy company's push for a quick decision on Trump's tariffs

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday declined an Illinois toy company’s request for a speedy ruling on the legality of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Learning Resources Inc. had sought to have the nation’s highest court address the matter promptly instead of allowing it to progress through the lower courts. The company contends that the tariffs and resulting uncertainty are severely affecting businesses nationwide, necessitating timely intervention from the Supreme Court.

The justices provided no explanation in their brief order dismissing the motion for an expedited review. Generally, the Supreme Court is hesitant to address cases before lower courts have ruled on them.

An appeals court is set to hear the case in late July.

The company argues that the Republican president illegally imposed tariffs under an emergency powers law, bypassing Congress. It won an early victory in a lower court, but the order is on hold as an appeals court considers a similar ruling putting a broader block on Trump’s tariffs. The appeals court has allowed Trump to continue collecting tariffs under the emergency powers law for now.

The Trump administration has defended the tariffs by arguing that the emergency powers law gives the president the authority to regulate imports during national emergencies and that the country’s longtime trade deficit qualifies as a national emergency.
