US Supreme Court strikes down Trump's trade tariff measures
Admin
The US Supreme Court has ruled President Donald Trump’s global trade tariff measures unconstitutional and invalid, delivering a major setback to his economic agenda.The court, in its Friday ruling, stated that Trump exceeded his authority when imposing tariffs, which had significantly disrupted international trade.
It clarified that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president the power to unilaterally impose tariffs without congressional approval.
Experts say the decision is a serious blow to Trump’s economic strategy, as tariffs were a key tool in his trade policy. The ruling could also affect trade agreements implemented earlier this year and sets a precedent limiting the president’s ability to act without Congress.
It is noteworthy that President Trump had imposed tariffs on several countries, including Pakistan. Last month, he had warned that a court ruling against his tariffs could create economic challenges for the United States.
