US EditionThe Memo: Trump Fumes at Supreme Court Justices Who Knocked Down Tariffs
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize broad tariffs, limiting presidential emergency powers.
- On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court in a six-to-three opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts struck down most of Trump’s tariffs, ruling that the invoked law could not be used for such a purpose.
- Trump invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to set tariffs without investigative findings or time limits, but Chief Justice John Roberts ruled Friday that IEEPA does not authorize such tariff powers.
- Responding immediately, the president said `I can charge much more than I was charging` in front of reporters at the White House press briefing room.
- Markets and foreign partners faced fresh uncertainty as alternative tariff laws require slower, more exhaustive implementation; Saikrishna Prakash said, `The presidency is definitely weaker`.
- The ruling limits the presidency's tariff lever, which had been used to extract concessions from Mexico, Canada, and China, while Julian E. Zelizer said it's "a blow to his `expansive vision of emergency powers, which was the pillar for his entire economic agenda and more".
