Washington, Feb 20: The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's far-reaching global tariffs on Friday, handing him a stinging loss on an issue crucial to his economic agenda.
Supreme Court rules against emergency tariff powers
The 6-3 decision centres on tariffs imposed under an emergency powers law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” tariffs he levied on nearly every other country. The high court ruled his use of an emergency powers law to set import duties without Congress was illegal.
Trump told a news conference he's “absolutely ashamed” of justices who voted to strike down his tariffs, calling the decision “deeply disappointing.” His loss before the conservative-majority high court came despite a series of short-term Trump wins that have allowed him to move ahead with key aspects of his broad agenda.
