Breaking: US Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s global tariffs

The Supreme Court of the United States of America has struck down the global tariff being imposed by President Donald Trump.

The highest court in the United States of America handed down the ruling on the tariffs on Friday in a 6-3 split decision.

The court held that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing sweeping tariffs through a law reserved for a national emergency.

It said the International Emergency Economic Powers Act “does not authorise the President to impose tariffs”.
