The US Supreme Court is weighing in on the legality of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. It will hear arguments on whether the president's use of a 1977 federal law for his sweeping levies exceeded his authority. The challenge involves three lawsuits brought by businesses that are affected by the tariffs and 12, mostly Democratic-led, states. Jagruti Dave reports from Washington DC.
