This week, the Supreme Court issued a ruling against many of President Trump’s tariffs. This ruling only affects tariffs placed under this law. Tariffs placed using other laws or reasoning are unaffected by this ruling. President Trump has used the threat of tariffs as a negotiating tool against a variety of countries, companies, and industries. These tariffs would likely fall under the reciprocal tariffs that the Supreme Court just ruled against.
