 <li>Supreme Court to decide on legality of Trump's tariffs Friday.</li>

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett remarks the administration may resort to alternative strategies if the Supreme Court invalidates Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs this Friday.
A verdict against the tariffs could result in substantial fiscal liabilities, affecting U.S. equities and cryptocurrencies through heightened market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty.

If overturned, the current tariff regime would potentially see billions refunded, impacting government finances and creating a lengthy legal process for companies seeking returns. The tariff case impacts broader macroeconomic stability as legal uncertainty grows.
Kevin Hassett, White House economic adviser, mentioned on January 9 that alternative measures exist if the Supreme Court rejects President Trump's tariffs.
<blockquote>
 "We have a big Supreme Court case. I hope they do what’s good for our country. I hope they do the right thing. The president has to be able to wheel and deal with tariffs." - Donald Trump, President of the United States <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">[Source]</a>
</blockquote>
"Friday could be the worst day for markets in 2026 if the Supreme Court rules the tariffs unlawful. Tariff refunds could reach up to $600 billion."
