00:00In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said that the tariff policies under the International
00:05Emergency Economic Powers Act are unconstitutional, officially striking down the global tariffs
00:13Trump has introduced since April.
00:16The justices ruled that the president did not have the authority under the IEEPA to
00:22impose import tariffs on goods from nearly all U.S. trading partners.
00:27The ruling upheld that it is the right of Congress to impose taxes, not the president.
00:33The ruling is expected to affect global trade, companies, inflation, and the pocketbooks
00:39of every U.S. citizen.
00:42On the same day, Trump called the Supreme Court decision a disgrace to the country.
00:47He said he will sign an order imposing a 10% global tariff to replace some of the emergency
00:54duties the U.S. Supreme Court ruled illegal.
00:57On April 23, 2025, a coalition of 12 U.S. states sued the Trump administration over the illegal
01:06tariffs in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York.
01:10A federal appeals court on August 29 last year upheld the ruling by the Court of International
01:16Trade, saying that Trump wrongfully invoked the IEEPA to issue the tariffs.
01:23In September 2025, the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court to rule on the legality
01:30of the tariffs.
