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 Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose sweeping tariffs by declaring a national emergency, nullifying tariffs on nearly all imports imposed last year.
- Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, emphasizing that the Constitution grants Congress the power to impose taxes and duties, and that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs of unlimited scope and duration.
- The ruling invalidates tariffs that raised about $130 billion and may lead to complex litigation as companies seek refunds for duties paid under the now-invalidated tariffs.
- The decision restricts presidential power to unilaterally impose broad tariffs, while tariffs imposed under other statutes remain intact.
