US Supreme Court Trump tariffs ruling LIVE updates: The Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal, a major setback for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s agenda.
US Supreme Court Trump Tariffs Ruling LIVE: In a significant legal setback for Donald Trump, the Supreme Court of the United States on Friday ruled 6–3 against his sweeping global tariff regime.
The majority held that the statute used to justify the import duties “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs”, effectively invalidating the unilateral measures imposed on multiple countries. The court, however, did not address whether affected parties would be eligible for tariff refunds.
The ruling carries broader implications for executive authority in trade policy and could reshape the legal framework governing future tariff actions.
US markets reacted positively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 93.81 points, or 0.2%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.5%, supported by a 2% rise in Alphabet Inc. shares.
