Supreme Court docket puts August 3 response deadline on Trump tariff stay request

The Supreme Court docket for No. 26A124 shows a stay application was filed on July 27, 2026, in Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. California, et al. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson requested a response to the application by 4 p.m. EDT on August 3, 2026. As of the August 1 edition date, the docket does not show a ruling on the request. supremecourt.gov That is the narrow procedural fact on the page: a stay application, a response deadline, and no posted order yet. The docket identifies the filing as an application for a stay submitted to Justice Jackson. It does not say anything more about how the Court will handle the request or how the justices view the underlying tariff dispute. supremecourt.gov The trade backdrop also matters, but the calendar is clear. On July 9, 2026, the White House said President Donald Trump signed a proclamation under Section 232 covering commercial aircraft, jet engines, and aircraft and engine parts. On July 20, 2026, the White House said he signed three Section 338 proclamations imposing additional tariffs on certain goods from Canada. Those actions came before the July 27 Supreme Court filing and appear in the record as separate July trade moves, not as developments after the stay request. whitehouse.gov For now, the public record is limited to procedure. The stay application is on file, the response clock is running, and the Court has not posted a decision. supremecourt.gov
