The decision cancels most of the tariffs imposed, including the 10% global tariff and higher "reciprocal" ones against some countries...
In a historic 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs on imports from nearly all of the world's trading partners, relying on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977.
This decision is a major loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president's foreign policy and economic agenda.
The decision is arguably the most significant defeat the second Trump administration has suffered at the conservative Supreme Court, which last year consistently sided with the president in a series of emergency rulings on immigration, the firing of independent agency heads and deep cuts to government spending.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts argued the majority opinion, and the court agreed 6-3 that the tariffs exceeded the powers the president has.
"The President asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, and scope. In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it ," the court's reasoning states.
The decision cancels most of the tariffs imposed, including the 10% global tariff and higher "reciprocal" ones on some countries, which Trump called a key part of "Liberation Day" to correct trade deficits and protect the American economy.
The consequences could be huge: the US government could now be forced to return up to $175 billion in collected tariffs, renegotiate trade agreements and move to other, more limited tariff laws.
The ruling highlights the constitutional limits on executive power in fiscal and trade matters, where Congress holds primary authority under the Constitution. Trump has warned that such a defeat would bring “financial ruin” to the US, but now the courts have ruled otherwise./ Pamphlet
