President Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court to quickly uphold his global tariffs, seeking review in a case that could affect trillions of dollars in trade and give him broad new leverage over the world economy.

The appeal calls for putting the case on a highly expedited schedule with arguments in early November. It follows a federal appeals court decision that said Trump can’t impose wide-scale import taxes by invoking a 1977 law designed to address national emergencies.
