Good Friday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Sarah Eisen with Carl Kintania and David Faber.

0:14.1

We are live from Post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange. We are getting ready for what could be a big hour of breaking news as we wait to see whether the Supreme Court will issue a ruling on the president's tariffs.

0:25.1
