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.

- 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.

- 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".
