Why the Supreme Court ruled against Trump's tariffs
About this episode
The Supreme Court ruled against President Trump's tariffs, stating he lacked the authority to impose them under an economic emergency law.
The Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump's tariffs in a blow to his agenda. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that he did not have the authority under an economic emergency law to issue such levies. The president responded, saying he would impose a global 10% tariff under a different law. Geoff Bennett spoke with News Hour Supreme Court analyst and SCOTUSBlog co-founder Amy Howe.
