The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Trump’s tariff authority, striking down his signature policy of unilateral import duties on foreign goods. The decision undermines a cornerstone of his economic and foreign policy agenda. President Trump will address the ruling in a White House press briefing Friday at 12:45 p.m. ET, following the court’s decision announced earlier the same day. His press secretary confirmed the briefing shortly after the verdict. The ruling declares the statute Trump used to impose tariffs does not legally authorize such duties, curbing his executive power over trade. This marks a major legal setback for his administration’s protectionist approach. Trump’s economic strategy heavily relied on unilateral tariffs as a tool for trade leverage, which the court’s decision now invalidates. The loss limits his ability to impose future duties without congressional approval. The 6-3 vote reflects a divided court but a decisive rejection of Trump’s tariff authority, signaling broader constraints on executive overreach in trade policy. The ruling resets U.S. trade policy dynamics.
