Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs

4 days ago

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Trump's tariffs policies under IEEPA unconstitutional.
Chief Justice John Roberts authored the 6-3 majority opinion, with Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh dissenting.
Trump's tariffs initially imposed at least 10% on goods from most countries, with higher rates for countries like China (up to 145%).
Tariffs on allies like Canada and Mexico were set at 25%, later increased to 35% for Canada.
American businesses challenged the tariffs, arguing Trump exceeded his authority.
The Supreme Court, previously receptive to Trump's claims of presidential authority, ruled against him in this case.
This marks the first major instance where the Supreme Court has denied Trump's policies after full briefing and expedited arguments.
