Trump's tariffs are struck down by the Supreme court 6 to 3.
What????This is a huge blow for Trump, but a big gain for Canada and the EU![]()
" Though it marks a significant defeat for the president, he retains avenues to still push through his tariff agenda. Congress has constitutional authority to impose new tariffs, and Trump may try to justify tariffs under another, existing law. "I guess the oligarchy didn't approve and gave the SC their marching orders.
Its gonna be a big mess trying to repay and cancel everything.
totally awesome
Look dude, I prefer no tariffs, but even if Trump does that it still wont be the end of the world." Though it marks a significant defeat for the president, he retains avenues to still push through his tariff agenda. Congress has constitutional authority to impose new tariffs, and Trump may try to justify tariffs under another, existing law. "
Unfortunately, I don’t believe this will stop Trump. I think he will use any means necessary to pursue what I see as the dismantling of world economies
Sure, they will as they slowly wean off the US and its nonsense, albeit they are stalling to see if this idiot croaks or gets decimated in November.Look dude, I prefer no tariffs, but even if Trump does that it still wont be the end of the world.
Canada, the US, and the EU will continue to function relatively normal, tariffs or no tariffs
I agree, its not like trump has listened to the courts before." Though it marks a significant defeat for the president, he retains avenues to still push through his tariff agenda. Congress has constitutional authority to impose new tariffs, and Trump may try to justify tariffs under another, existing law. "

Trump's Potential "Game Two" Plan:
While he cannot veto the court's decision, the administration has indicated it may try to keep tariffs in place through other legal channels that were not the subject of this specific ruling:
Note on Congressional Vetoes: You may be hearing about "vetoes" because Congress recently passed resolutions to block some of Trump's tariffs (such as those on Canada). The president can veto those legislative resolutions, and Congress would need a two-thirds supermajority to override him. However, this is entirely separate from his inability to veto a Supreme Court ruling.
- Section 232 (National Security): Tariffs justified on national security grounds (e.g., steel and aluminum).
- Section 301 (Unfair Trade): Retaliatory tariffs against countries found to have unfair trade practices.
Unfortunately for Canada it may not be great. All the steel ,aluminum and copper are on a different type of tariff.This is a huge blow for Trump, but a big gain for Canada and the EU![]()
Wouldn't this ruling affect those tariffs as well?Unfortunately for Canada it may not be great. All the steel ,aluminum and copper are on a different type of tariff.
They don't belong to the emergency law he used as a excuse. He used something else for those.Wouldn't this ruling affect those tariffs as well?
Not all tariffs are gone.Wouldn't this ruling affect those tariffs as well?
Agreed, trump is a moron.Trump not that deep a thinker. He liked tariffs because it gives him the power to use them as a personal weapon to reward and punish.
Then he misunderstood them and/or convinced himself they'll work because other countries pay for them. He for sure knows now it's not true other countries pay but he has to keep up the lie.
The US constitution is pretty clear only congress has that power (the previous court ruled 9-0 that Trump does not have the tariff power), and the current state of affairs are not dire, wartime emergencies.
But I believe he just liked the weapon and the rest is just rationalization.
I don't see how it's a big gain for Canada. We were already exempt from the vast majority of tariffs via CUSMA, and the real pain points are the sectoral tariffs (steel, lumber, etc), which aren't affected by this ruling, unfortunately.This is a huge blow for Trump, but a big gain for Canada and the EU![]()
No, those were imposed using a different method.Wouldn't this ruling affect those tariffs as well?
