The U.S. Supreme Court held its first "opinion day" of the year on January 9, which was the first opportunity for the Supreme Court this year to rule on the legality of Trump's broad tariff measures under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, but no rulings were made on trade policy that day. As the justices ended their holiday and returned to work, the Supreme Court may issue more opinions in the next two weeks. The ruling is expected to affect Trump's so-called "reciprocal tariffs" and tariff measures related to the fentanyl issue. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said in interviews with multiple media outlets on Friday that the Trump administration expects to win the case; if they do not win, the Trump administration is prepared to use other legal authorities to quickly reimpose tariffs, and the backup plan has already been prepared. Hassett also revealed that government officials held a high-level phone call on January 8 (Thursday) to discuss contingency plans in case of an unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court. U.S. Trade Representative Griles is expected to lead the "B plan."
