US importers will be on high alert starting Friday for a Supreme Court ruling to determine the fate of President Donald Trump’s broad use of tariffs.

The high court doesn’t say in advance which decisions they’ll release, only that rulings in argued cases are possible when justices take the bench at 10 a.m. in Washington. The justices could schedule additional opinion days over the next two weeks.
