President Donald Trump has worked fast in his second term, wielding unilateral power to reassert American dominance in the global economy. For a few hours Wednesday, the world will get clues as to whether any US institution is willing to rein him in.

In a high-stakes legal showdown, the Supreme Court will consider arguments that Trump exceeded his constitutional authority with many of the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on goods from around the world.
