President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs have been struck down by the US Supreme Court, in a major blow to the president’s economic agenda.With a\u00a06-3 majority, the Supreme Court rules Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed tariffs via a law reserved for national emergencies.<\/p>\n

The court’s decision represents a rare check on this president’s broad use of executive authority –\u00a0<\/i>read our North America correspondent’s snap analysis. <\/i>The ruling applies to his so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs, but not individual tariffs he’s imposed on specific countries or products<\/p>\n

Trump, a longtime proponent of tariffs, argues the taxes on goods imported into the US will boost American manufacturing. Wall Street responds quickly and positively to the court’s ruling in early trading.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the main opinion in today’s decision, BBC reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the ruling, Roberts said if the Trump administration was allowed to prevail with its tariffs agenda it “would replace the longstanding executive-legislative collaboration over trade policy with unchecked Presidential policymaking”.<\/p>\n

“Accordingly, the President must ‘point to clear congressional authorization’ to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs. He cannot.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Theo Leggett, <\/strong>International business correspondent said,\u00a0The Supreme Court \u2013 with, let\u2019s not forget, a conservative majority \u2013 has struck down the legal justification for a large portion of the so-called reciprocal tariffs, as well as measures brought in against Canada, Mexico and China, ostensibly in response to the influx into the US of illegal drugs such as fentanyl.<\/p>\n

These import taxes were introduced under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. But the court ruled that the Act did not authorise measures which were \u201cunbounded in scope, amount and duration\u201d.<\/p>\n
