U.S. Supreme Court again declines to rule on legality of ‘Trump tariffs’ as of the 14th U.S. time

[Financial News] The Supreme Court of the United States (U.S. Supreme Court) on the 14th (local time) again failed to issue a ruling on whether the so‐called “reciprocal tariffs” imposed on countries around the world by the Trump administration were unlawful.
The U.S. Supreme Court published three decisions on its website that day, but none of them were related to the reciprocal tariffs. British media also reported that “although the Court issued three rulings today, it did not hand down a decision on the dispute over the legality of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.”
Ahead of issuing decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court announces only that rulings are scheduled for a certain date, without disclosing in advance which specific cases will be decided.
Because the Court had initially indicated on the 9th that “there will be rulings,” it was expected to decide on the tariffs that day, but it issued a different decision instead. Rulings were also scheduled for the 14th, yet the decisions released were again unrelated to the tariffs.
Previously, Donald Trump declared a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), arguing that “the United States’ massive accumulated trade deficit is a national emergency and tariffs must therefore be imposed on our trading partners,” and then applied reciprocal tariffs to various countries.
In response, the courts of first and second instance ruled that invoking IEEPA as the legal basis for imposing reciprocal tariffs was unlawful, and the U.S. Supreme Court has been reviewing the case following an appeal by the Trump administration.
