SCOTUS Strikes Down Trump's Tariffs

Today, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) struck down President Donald Trump's far-reaching global tariffs on Friday, handing him a stinging loss that sparked a furious attack on the court he helped shape. 

Trump said he was "absolutely ashamed" of some justices who ruled 6-3 against him, calling them "disloyal to our Constitution" and denouncing them as "lapdogs." At one point, he even raised the specter of foreign influence without citing any evidence. The decision could have ripple effects on economies around the globe after Trump's moves to remake post-World War II trading alliances by wielding tariffs as a weapon.

However, an unbowed Trump pledged to impose a new global 10 percent tariff under a law that is restricted to 150 days and has never before been used to apply tariffs.
