The US Supreme Court on Friday struck down President Donald Trump’s far-reaching global tariffs, handing him a significant loss on an issue crucial to his economic agenda. The 6-3 decision of the US Supreme Court centres on tariffs imposed under an emergency powers law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” tariffs he imposed on nearly every other country. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of three conservative jurists in his first term.
