The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize broad tariffs, affecting over $175 billion in duties collected.
- On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated President Donald Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs in a 6-3 decision.

- The Trump administration said it will seek other statutory avenues and President Donald Trump planned a Friday news briefing, despite Friday's ruling.
