The Supreme Court battle over Trump鈥檚 tariffs

Trump faces a Supreme Court challenge over the legality of his tariffs policy

The Trump administration faces a Supreme Court challenge on Wednesday over its use of tariffs, an economic policy that has upended global trade.

This case, which has been described by the President in epic terms, questions the legality of Trump鈥檚 signature economic policy - and poses one of the biggest existential threats to his second term so far.

In today鈥檚 episode, we speak to small business owners across the US, and to 麻豆社 business reporter Natalie Sherman, who will be at the Supreme Court this week.
