WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release new rulings on Jan. 14, with several major cases still undecided, including a legal challenge to President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.
The court said it may issue decisions when justices return to the bench next Wednesday, but it does not say ahead of time which cases will be ruled on.
The tariffs case is a major test of presidential power and could affect the global economy. Trump used a 1977 emergency law to impose tariffs on most U.S. trading partners, as well as on China, Canada and Mexico. Lower courts ruled he went too far, and his administration is appealing those decisions.
During arguments in November, several justices raised concerns about whether the tariffs are legal. Trump has said the tariffs strengthened the U.S. economy and warned that a ruling against them would be harmful.
The court is also considering other important cases, including one that challenges part of the Voting Rights Act and another that questions a Colorado law banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ2S+ minors.
