‘Historic Embarrassment’ For Trump; US Supreme Court Blocks Global Tariffs In Shock Ruling

The US Supreme Court has delivered a major setback to President Donald Trump, ruling 6–3 that he exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs under emergency powers. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the 1977 law cited by the administration does not authorize unilateral tariffs. Trump called the decision a “disgrace” and said he has a backup plan. While some tariffs remain in place, the ruling reshapes executive trade power and could have lasting economic and political consequences.
