"The court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not give the president the power to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs. Our task today is to decide only whether the power to regulate importation,' as granted to the president in IEEPA, embraces the power to impose tariffs. It does not, Roberts wrote in the ruling.

The United States Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump's global tariffs were illegal because he exceeded authority under a 1977 law. The court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president power to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs. The justices said IEEPA was meant to address specific national emergencies, such as freezing assets or blocking transactions, not to overhaul trade policy through broad tariffs. The case was remanded to the US Court of International Trade to oversee refunds. The ruling leaves other legal avenues for trade restrictions but limits use of IEEPA for tariffs.
