Trump says he signed a 10% global tariff after Supreme Court decision

The Supreme Court's decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Trump vows 10% global tariff after Supreme Court ruling.

TRUMP RESPONDS: President Donald Trump called the Supreme Court's decision to strike down his effort to impose sweeping global tariffs under a national security law "deeply disappointing" at a news conference this afternoon. The president said he was "ashamed" of some of the justices over the ruling and that they were "very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution." He also announced that he would impose a temporary 10% global tariff under the Trade Act of 1974, a different law from the one that the court said did not grant him tariff authority.

COURT OPINION: The Supreme Court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency. The decision does not affect all of Trump’s tariffs, but invalidates those implemented using a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

6-3 RULING: Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority that Trump had asserted "extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration and scope,” but had pointed to no statute that said the IEEPA could apply to tariffs. In dissent, fellow conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the decision probably would not restrict presidential tariff authority going forward, but would create a “mess” for the government, including by requiring billions of dollars in refunds to businesses.
