• The court will assess if Trump exceeded presidential authority by using the IEEPA of 1977 for tariffs.
• Trump stated his administration has backup plans, including Section 232 of US trade law, if IEEPA use is blocked.
• He warned an adverse ruling could force repayment of 'hundreds of billions' in tariffs and disrupt trade talks.
• Trump dismissed criticism that tariffs raise consumer prices, claiming foreign nations and middlemen bear the cost.
