President Trump has escalated his trade offensive by raising the global import duty to 15% just one day after a Supreme Court ruling struck down his previous tariff framework. The move, which utilizes a temporary 150-day legal window, signals a deepening constitutional and economic confrontation over executive trade authority.
The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down broad-based tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, ruling 6-3 that the executive branch exceeded its authority. In response, President Trump has invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose a temporary 10% global tariff.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, returning that power to Congress. This landmark decision invalidates 2025 trade measures and sets the stage for importers to reclaim billions of dollars in duties.
