US Supreme Court Trump tariffs ruling LIVE updates: The court has struck down Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariff policy in a 6–3 decision, ruling the law cited did not authorise unilateral duties. US share markets rose following the verdict.
US Supreme Court Trump Tariffs Ruling LIVE Updates: 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 128 points, or 0.3%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.5%, supported by a 2% rise in Alphabet Inc. shares.
