🚨Biggest Blow To Trump: U.S. Supreme Court Invalidates President Donald Trump’s Emergency Tariffs Policy
In a 6–3 landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs, declaring them unconstitutional. The Court held that the President exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), emphasizing that tariff powers primarily rest with Congress.
The judgment nullifies the 34% reciprocal tariff on China, the 25% tariff on India (later reduced to 18%), and the 25% duties on Canada, China, and Mexico linked to the fentanyl crisis.
The ruling could compel the U.S. government to refund an estimated $175–179 billion in collected tariffs, according to academic assessments. It also removes a major trade pressure tool from the executive branch, requiring congressional approval for any future similar measures.
The decision is expected to ease trade tensions globally and provide potential relief to American consumers amid inflationary pressures.
