TARIFFS

In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Donald Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed broad tariffs on imports from U.S. trading partners. The Court affirmed that the Constitution gives Congress — not the president — the power to impose tariffs.

The ruling reflects deep divisions over presidential power and the role of Congress. The president’s response to the decision showed open contempt for the justices who opposed him, rhetoric that risks damaging public trust in the Court’s legitimacy.
