US SC Raises Tough Questions on Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs: A Legal Showdown Over Presidential Power

US Court On Tariff: In a high-stakes hearing, US Supreme Court justices grilled the Trump administration over the legality of Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs — a move that could reshape the balance of power between the White House and Congress. The case, which challenges Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on nearly every US trading partner, has major implications for the global economy. Both conservative and liberal justices questioned whether Trump overstepped constitutional limits by using a 1977 emergency law to tax imports — a power traditionally held by Congress. With the court’s 6-3 conservative majority seemingly divided, this could become one of the most consequential rulings on presidential power in decades. Watch as we break down the arguments, the doctrine at stake, and what this could mean for America’s trade and global influence.
