The U.S. Supreme Court could rule on Tuesday that President Donald Trump\u2019s trade tariffs are illegal\u2014and that would throw up a significant hurdle for his plan to acquire Greenland.<\/p>\n

President Trump posted his latest threat to take over Greenland late last night on Truth Social: \u201cNow it is time, and it will be done!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, on Saturday, he threatened to impose tariffs of 10%, rising to 25%, on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finland, rising to 25% on June 1, \u201cuntil such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.\u201d<\/p>\n

But analysts noted this morning that the court is due to issue rulings on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The expectation on Wall Street is that the court will rule that the president does not have the power under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs on routine international trade. If that happens, Trump’s threats could become meaningless, at least in the short-term.<\/p>\n

\u201cThreatened U.S. tariffs … may be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court,\u201d UBS advised clients in a note this morning.<\/p>\n

At ING, Carsten Brzeski and Bert Colijn said, \u201cIf the Supreme Court rules against all earlier IEEPA tariffs, Trump\u2019s latest announcement [about Greenland] would be void, and he would have to find other tariffs. Something that would take more time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ruling had been expected earlier this month. The delay has caused some to speculate that the court, which at oral arguments appeared to be skeptical of the White House\u2019s arguments, may now be leaning toward the Trump Administration. The court has a history of taking longer to produce its big, unexpected rulings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the Court is positioned to issue additional opinions this week\u2014sessions are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday\u2014our economists’ expectation is that the ruling may not come until later in the year, potentially as late as June,\u201d Jim Reid and his colleagues at Deutsche Bank said in their morning note.<\/p>\n
