Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariff plan
What Trump might do next after Supreme Court tariff ruling
- The Supreme Court has invalidated President Donald Trump’s extensive global tariffs, marking a significant setback for his economic policies.
- The ruling concerns tariffs implemented under an emergency powers law, including broad 'reciprocal' tariffs applied to numerous nations.
- This case represents the first major aspect of Trump’s agenda to be directly addressed by the nation’s highest court.
- Trump had previously stated the case was among the most crucial in US history, warning that an adverse ruling would severely impact the country's economy.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had indicated previously that the administration might use alternative tariff measures from the 1962 Trade Act if the court struck down the existing tariffs.
