In a significant development, the US Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs on several countries, marking a major legal setback to Trump’s aggressive trade policies.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion and the court agreed 6-3 that the tariffs exceeded the law. “The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, and scope," Roberts wrote.
“In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it," he added, ruling that the emergency authority he relied on “fell short".
