Supreme Court strikes down Trump's global tariffs in 6-3 ruling

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Donald Trump lacked the authority to impose broad global tariffs under an emergency law.Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the U.S. Constitution grants the power to levy duties to Congress rather than the executive branch.The decision invalidates "reciprocal" tariffs that have collected over $133 billion since April 2025, potentially requiring the government to refund up to $1.5 trillion.While Donald Trump called the ruling a disgrace and signaled he would pursue alternative legal avenues, the EU and global trade partners celebrated the outcome.
