President Donald Trump said on Nov. 2 that he no longer plans to attend this week’s Supreme Court oral arguments about his reciprocal tariffs.

The president was referring to the hearing the high court is scheduled to have on Nov. 5 in two consolidated cases known as Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections Inc. On Sept. 9, the court agreed to expedite review of lower court rulings that struck down most of the president’s global tariffs.
