US EditionWhat happens if the Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariffs?
The Supreme Court examines whether President Trump exceeded constitutional authority by imposing tariffs without explicit congressional approval amid ongoing economic and legal debates.
- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will consider whether the IEEPA and major-questions doctrine permit President Donald Trump to impose tariffs, as plaintiffs argue tariffs are taxes raising separation-of-powers issues.
- Article I vests taxing and commerce authority with Congress, and the IEEPA requires an `unusual and extraordinary threat`, but critics say Trump bypassed Congress instead of seeking explicit delegation.
- Trump proposed across-the-board tariffs set at half foreign rates with a 10% floor, a formula critics call haphazard and harmful to U.S. manufacturers and global supply chains using nine components.
- A Court reversal would curb unilateral emergency tariff powers, limiting a president's ability to declare `emergencies` to impose tariffs while Trump claimed it could `lead to another Great Depression`, though Economists warn of recession risks from broader mismanagement.
- Columnist Sabrina Haake argues sustaining Trump’s tariffs could teach Americans about autocracy dangers and suggests Trump scapegoats the high court amid worsening economic pain after Tuesday.
