President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he might go to the Supreme Court next month to hear oral arguments for the major tariffs case that could determine the fate of his wide-ranging protectionist trade agenda.
Trump would apparently be the first sitting U.S. president to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court.
“We have a big case coming up in the Supreme Court, and I will tell you, that’s one of the most important cases in the history of our country,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “If we don’t win that case, we will be a weakened, troubled, financial mess for many, many years to come.”
“That’s why I think I’m going to go to the Supreme Court to watch,” Trump said.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the tariffs case, known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, on Nov. 5.
The case centers on whether the law that Trump used to impose his biggest country-specific tariff policies — including his so-called reciprocal tariffs and his fentanyl-related duties — actually authorizes those trade actions.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for additional comment on Trump’s remarks.
