What the Supreme Court tariff decision means for Maine
The ruling removes the legal basis for tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, affecting U.S.-Canada trade and requiring tariff measures to be abandoned, the court said.
- In a 6-3 ruling announced Friday morning, the United States Supreme Court found the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs.
- Trump used the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs, including a 3 percent hike on imports from Canada, despite CUSMA exemptions, as of August.
- Saskatchewan's government said the ruling was good news but cautioned it remains evaluating impacts, noting the 10 per cent tariff on non-CUSMA potash may end while BHP and Nutrien declined to comment.
- Some trade measures remain intact, notably autos, steel and aluminum tariffs, while Trump's tariffs strained relationships with longtime trading partners including Canada.
- Regional ties like Maine–Canada trade highlight wider exposure to U.S. policy as Saskatchewan, the world's largest potash producer, pursues market diversification and urges free, fair trade.
