Trump Vows New Tariffs After Supreme Court Blocks Emergency Trade Powers
President Donald Trump says he will move ahead with new tariffs after the Supreme Court blocked his broad emergency tariff authority, setting up a new phase of economic and legal uncertainty for businesses and consumers.
Speaking from the White House shortly after the ruling, Trump sharply criticized the decision and said his administration will pursue alternative measures to continue imposing trade penalties on foreign goods. Officials now plan to implement a new 10 percent global tariff under a different legal authority that allows duties of up to 15 percent for as long as 150 days unless Congress extends them.
The court’s decision invalidated sweeping tariffs that had reshaped global supply chains and raised billions of dollars in revenue. It also left unresolved how the federal government will handle potential refunds for companies seeking repayment of tariffs already collected. Trump declined to commit to issuing refunds, suggesting the issue could be tied up in lengthy legal disputes.
The ruling has prompted questions about the administration’s broader economic and foreign policy strategy. Tariffs have been a central tool used to pressure trading partners and influence international negotiations. Some analysts say the decision limits how quickly the U.S. can impose trade measures moving forward.
Administration officials say other legal pathways remain available, though they may require more time and procedural steps to implement. Trump has indicated he may pursue higher or expanded tariffs through these alternative mechanisms.
The decision arrives as the White House prepares for a major national address and faces growing debate over the economic impact of tariffs, including concerns about higher prices and global trade tensions.
