The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that President Trump’s global tariffs are illegal, stating he exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that the law allows for specific emergency responses, not broad tariff imposition. Trump criticized the decision, claiming it undermines presidential trade authority, while the court’s ruling may lead to a refund process for over $130 billion in tariffs collected. Dissenting justices argued that Trump could still impose tariffs under other statutory authorities.
