WASHINGTON: The U.S. Supreme Court has declared President Donald Trump's tariff measures unconstitutional. According to reports, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled to overturn President Trump's tariffs on international trade.
The court's decision stated that Donald Trump exceeded his constitutional authority when imposing tariffs, which had significantly disrupted global commerce. The ruling also clarified that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not grant the U.S. President the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs. This verdict represents a major legal setback for Trump's economic policies, as tariffs were a central element of his trade strategy. Experts suggest that the ruling could impact trade agreements established earlier this year. It sets a new precedent regarding the scope of executive powers, emphasizing that certain policies require Congressional approval before implementation. It is noteworthy that President Trump had previously imposed tariffs on several countries, including Pakistan.
