"The U.S. Supreme Court has delivered its ruling on the legality of U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. The 6-3 ruling comes as the U.S. president continues to impose widespread tariffs on many U.S. allies. The justices found Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked emergency presidential powers to bring the levies into effect last year. Most Canada-U.S. trade is exempt from Trump's tariffs due to CUSMA, but the ruling creates more uncertainty."
"Ahead of Trump's reaction, LeBlanc extolled one one of the Carney government's key promises: diversifying its trading relationships and be less dependent on the U.S. market "All of those things become even more important as we head into this further uncertainty," he told CBC's Power & Politics. "We'll see ultimately what the American government does. But we remain very serene and very focused on the work we need to do.""
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump exceeded his authority by invoking emergency powers to impose broad tariffs last year. The decision nullifies tariffs implemented under that emergency declaration and increases uncertainty for international trade relationships. Most Canada-U.S. commerce remains exempt under CUSMA, but some levies continue to affect businesses. Auto, steel and aluminum tariffs were not part of the ruling and remain in force. Canadian ministers Joly and LeBlanc have engaged with the U.S. Embassy and emphasized support for affected companies and diversification of trading relationships.
