WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to quickly decide a high-stakes showdown over President Donald Trump's tariffs on imports from foreign nations, a signature policy of his second term.

At issue is Trump's power to unilaterally impose tariffs, without congressional approval, under a law reserved for use in times of emergency.

The court took two different cases covering most of Trump's tariffs, including one filed by the Trump administration last week after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled on Aug. 29 that the president exceeded his authority. The other case is a similar challenge brought by two educational toy companies.

The tariffs, for now, remain in effect while the court decides the case.
