Supreme Court rules Trump global tariffs illegal
U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump unlawfully imposed sweeping tariffs under emergency authority. Decision delivers major setback to White House trade agenda and limits president ability to act without congressional approval.
In a 6-3 decision, court found that tariffs exceeded federal law, CNN reported.
Court defines limits of executive authority
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for majority, said president asserted extraordinary power to impose tariffs of unlimited scope and duration. Such authority requires clear authorization from Congress.Court concluded that emergency statute cited by Trump does not provide sufficient legal basis for broad trade restrictions.
One of most significant defeats for administration
Ruling marks one of most consequential losses for second Trump administration at Supreme Court. In previous cases, conservative majority often sided with president on immigration, dismissal of independent agency leaders and reductions in federal spending.This time, justices determined that White House exceeded both statutory and constitutional boundaries.
What it means
Decision reaffirms central role of Congress in shaping US trade policy and strengthens oversight of emergency economic powers.For markets and international partners, ruling provides greater legal certainty. At same time, it leaves open question of how White House will adjust its tariff strategy going forward.
Earlier data showed U.S. economy expanded by 4.4% in third quarter, reaching two-year high and reinforcing expectations that Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged at its January 28 meeting.
