The U.S. Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under an emergency powers law, 6-3, the Associated Press reported.
The decision came on Friday, focusing on the president’s “reciprocal” tariffs he put in place in April 2025.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
Polling has found tariffs aren’t broadly popular with the public.
