US Supreme Court Questions Legality of Trump's Global Tariffs

The US Supreme Court is scrutinizing President Donald Trump's authority to impose sweeping global tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The case, brought by several states and businesses, challenges the president's power to unilaterally levy taxes on imports, a role constitutionally assigned to Congress. Justices appeared skeptical of the administration's broad interpretation of the law. A ruling against the government, expected in 2026, could invalidate tariffs, force billions in refunds, and significantly curtail future presidential trade powers.
