Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs, Citing Overreach of IEEPA Authority

The US Supreme Court has invalidated the Trump administration's sweeping tariff program, ruling that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not grant the President authority to impose broad import duties. This landmark decision disrupts the administration's signature trade policy and creates a complex legal path for the $134 billion in levies already collected.
