In a fiery Friday showdown, former President Trump blasted Supreme Court justices as “ashamed” after they ruled his signature global tariffs illegal. The 6-3 decision declared Trump’s trade wars exceeded presidential authority under emergency powers laws. 🚨⚖️
The Ruling Explained
SCOTUS found Trump’s $27.7B/month tariffs violated the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Chief Justice Roberts wrote: “National emergencies can’t become blank checks for economic policy.” American importers and trading partners now await clarity on potential refunds.
Trump Fights Back
Unfazed, Trump announced plans to impose NEW 10% global tariffs using Section 122 of the Trade Act. “We’ll win this battle,” he vowed, while VP JD Vance accused the court of “lawlessness.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicts tariff revenue will stay “virtually unchanged” through 2026 under alternative methods.
What’s Next for Trade Policy?
With refunds potentially taking years to litigate, businesses face continued uncertainty. As the 2026 political landscape heats up, this ruling sets up a constitutional clash over presidential trade powers. 🌐💼
