TARIFFS: Trump May Request SCOTUS Intervention On Tariff Ruling As Soon As May30

CNBC reporting that President Donald Trump could request, as soon as Friday, May 30, that the Supreme Court pause a United States Court of International Trade ruling that effectively blocked his 'Liberation Day' tariffs.

• CNBC notes: "The U.S. will seek the “emergency relief” from the nation’s highest court if a federal appeals court does not issue its own temporary pause of the lower-court ruling."
• The White House's official X account posted a short time ago: "The ruling on [Trump's] tariffs is blatantly wrong — and we are confident this decision will be overturned on appeal." The White House is likely to argue that 'persistent trade deficits' do indeed constitute a national emergency, contrary to the trade court's ruling.
• Trump spokesperson, Kush Desai, said in a statement: "Foreign countries’ nonreciprocal treatment of the Unites [sic] States has fueled America’s historic and persistent trade deficits. These deficits have created a national emergency that has decimated American communities... It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency."
• While the Supreme Court has a conservative majority bench, it is yet to tested with a case central to Trump's agenda. A decision in April that the White House should "facilitate" the return of a deported Maryland resident was widely seen as taking a neutral position on Trump's immigration policy.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is scheduled to brief reporters at 13:00 ET 18:00 BST, where she is likely to echo Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller's confrontational posture towards the court.
