US EditionSupreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Sweeping Global Tariffs
- On Feb. 20, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs in a 6-3 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing the majority opinion joined by three liberal justices and Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett.
- Trump invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose `reciprocal` tariffs in April 2025, the first use of IEEPA to set tariffs, citing a national emergency.
- A coalition of states and small businesses sued, leading to consolidated expedited cases, while many companies including Costco sought refunds after paying the emergency tariffs.
- Treasury data show collections topping more than $133 billion, with tariffs affected amounting to over $175 billion, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates the decade-long impact at $3 trillion and officials say the administration may seek other legal authorities to preserve some duties.
- This decision constrains presidential emergency trade authority and marks a rare judicial rebuke, as the Court emphasized that the Constitution vests taxing power, including tariffs, in Congress, limiting the Trump administration’s emergency powers with unclear long-term trade and supply-chain impacts.
