Donald Trump has said he intends to attend the Supreme Court to watch arguments on the cases related to his tariffs, in an unprecedented move by a sitting president.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether the president has the authority to impose his tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act on November 5.
Trump said that it was 'one of the most important cases in the history of our country' as he spoke to reporters at the White House on Wednesday.
'That's why I think I'm going to the Supreme Court to watch it. I've not done that. And I've had some pretty big cases,' he added.
If he attends, Trump would become the first sitting president to attend a Supreme Court argument.
Presidents generally only attend the high court on ceremonial occasions as their attendance at the Court while a party to the case could raise constitutional questions related to the separation of powers.
But Trump continues to be a breaker of norms, floating that the justices should expect him.
'I think it's one of the most important cases ever brought because we will be defenseless against the world,' he said. |
