Supreme Court rulings loom in four major Trump-related cases

By Jan Wolfe

WASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump was incensed on February 20 when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his sweeping global tariffs, an integral part of his economic and foreign policy strategy. That may not be the last disappointment for Trump during the court's current term.

Four more major cases involving Trump are due to be decided by the ‌top U.S. judicial body by around the end of next month. They involve his effort to restrict birthright citizenship, fire a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors, oust a Federal ‌Trade Commission member and end protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Haiti and Syria.

The Supreme Court, whose 6-3 conservative majority includes three justices he appointed during his first term as president, has backed Trump in a series of decisions issued on an ​emergency basis since he returned to office last year. But, based on questions posed by the justices during arguments in the cases, Trump may lose on birthright citizenship and the Fed firing.

The court next issues rulings on Thursday.
