The U.S. Supreme Court has delivered a brutal takedown of President Donald Trump’s signature economic policy, ruling that he overstepped his authority to impose widespread tariffs on countries around the globe.
In a major blow for the president—who called the case “literally, life of death for our country”—the conservative-dominated court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, found that Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on imports from more than 100 countries was unlawful.
The 6-3 ruling, with Roberts and fellow conservatives Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett joining liberal justices, has undercut one of Trump’s biggest tools to reshape U.S. trade and exert pressure on other countries.
