US High Court Nullifies Trump’s Global Tariffs

By 𝔸bdulrazak Tomiwa

The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs in a landmark Friday ruling. 

This decision effectively dismantles a central pillar of the administration’s current “America First” economic strategy.

The ruling overturns a controversial framework that imposed broad taxes on a wide range of goods imported into the country.

These tariffs had previously sparked significant friction between the U.S. and its international trading partners.

By striking down these measures, the Court has placed a major check on executive authority regarding trade policy. The justices found the administration exceeded its mandate by implementing such broad scales without sufficient legislative support.

Global markets are expected to react immediately to the news following months of trade-related volatility. Both international exporters and domestic retailers anticipate a potential drop in the costs of imported goods.

The decision is a major victory for free-trade advocates and business groups who challenged the tariffs’ legality. They argued the taxes were unconstitutional and caused undue economic harm to American consumers.

As legal experts analyze the full implications, the White House must now navigate a redefined trade landscape. This ruling marks a definitive shift in U.S. economic relations and executive power.
