Supreme Court Backs Bankruptcy Trustee In Time-Limited Void Challenge

Trump responded to the decision by criticizing the court and signaling plans to pursue alternative legal avenues for trade measures.

The tariffs had targeted goods from a broad range of U.S. trading partners and were central to the White House’s economic agenda. The ruling upheld the constitutional principle that significant tariff authority lies with Congress, according to the court’s majority opinion.

Trump stated that the ruling still provided his administration considerable latitude to increase tariffs using other authorities, referencing a line he credited to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s dissent.
