The US Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to President Trump's economic agenda on Friday, striking down his sweeping global tariffs in a 6-3 decision. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that Trump exceeded his legal authority when imposing tariffs on nearly all US trading partners last year. Trump responded sharply, calling the decision ridiculous and accusing justices of undermining American economic interests. The ruling invalidated broad tariff measures targeting dozens of countries, finding that the president's use of emergency powers went beyond congressional authorization. Trump indicated he would pursue alternative measures to impose new duties, though the court's decision represents a major setback for a cornerstone of his trade policy aimed at reshaping global supply chains and pressuring foreign governments through tariff mechanisms.
