U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that he is optimistic the Supreme Court will reverse a lower court ruling that found President Donald Trump’s tariffs illegal.
Supreme Court justices heard more than two-and-a-half hours of oral arguments on the case on Nov. 5, with justices assessing whether a 1977 law meant for use during national emergencies gave Trump the power to impose tariffs or whether the president had intruded on the powers of Congress.
