Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Global Tariffs in 6–3 Ruling

Washington was thrust into political turmoil after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping 2025 global tariffs. In a 6–3 decision, the Court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by imposing broad “reciprocal” tariffs without clear congressional authorization.

The ruling invalidates most of the duties — reportedly totaling around $150 billion — dealing a major blow to a central pillar of Trump’s second-term economic agenda. The decision reinforces Congress’s constitutional authority over taxation and trade, while raising questions about potential tariff refunds and whether lawmakers will attempt to codify similar measures through new legislation.

The bigger question now: does Congress try to codify similar tariffs, or does this fundamentally reshape how emergency trade powers are used?
