Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Sweeping Global Tariffs
The Supreme Court invalidated Trump’s tariffs under the emergency law, ruling the statute lacks authority for tariffs and noting $133 billion was collected from these duties.
- The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump's global tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act exceeded his authority and were therefore illegal.
- The tariffs, expected to generate about $1.5 trillion over ten years, were struck down because they functioned like taxes, a power reserved for Congress.
- The ruling affirmed that only Congress has the constitutional power to levy taxes and placed limits on the executive branch's unilateral use of sweeping tariffs without congressional approval.
- Some tariffs remain in place under other laws, and alternative legal avenues to impose tariffs may still be pursued.
