Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump's Universal Tariff Plan

What Happened In a decisive 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s sweeping tariffs program that had been a cornerstone of his second-term foreign policy. The Court specifically ruled that the president’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs constitutes an unconstitutional tax on imports. The ruling directly challenges Trump’s authority to unilaterally impose what he had promoted as a universal 10 percent tariff on imports.
