The U.S. Supreme Court has set Friday as the date to make a ruling on tariff issues.

On January 6, according to US media reports, the U.S. Supreme Court has set this Friday as the date for the release of the ruling, marking the first opportunity for a decision on President Trump’s global tariff policies. As the court website announced this, the justices are returning from a four-week holiday recess. The court has never disclosed in advance which rulings are ready, only indicating that decisions on cases heard may be issued when the justices convene at 10:00 a.m. Washington time. Given the expedited procedures the court has applied to this case so far, it is highly likely that the tariff case will be decided on that day. If the court rules against Trump, it will weaken his signature economic policies and represent his most significant legal setback since returning to the White House. The core issue in the case concerns the tariffs implemented on April 2, known as “Liberation Day” — a policy that imposed tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on most imported goods and, under the pretext of combating fentanyl smuggling, levied additional tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
