US Supreme Court Strikes Down Donald Trump’s Global Tariffs in Landmark Ruling

In a major decision with global economic implications, the Supreme Court of the United States on February 20, 2026 struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs imposed under a 1977 national emergency law. In a 6 to 3 ruling, the justices upheld a lower court verdict, concluding that Trump exceeded his authority by using the emergency statute to unilaterally impose import taxes. The legal challenge was brought by businesses impacted by the tariffs along with 12 US states, most led by Democrats. Trump had relied heavily on tariffs as a central economic and foreign policy tool during his second term, triggering a global trade war that unsettled financial markets and strained ties with key trading partners. US President Donald Trump Claims Trade Deal With India, Says Reciprocal Tariff Down to 18%.
