The US Supreme Court has rejected President Donald Trump's global tariffs, ruling 6-3 that the President exceeded his legal powers by imposing the tariffs without clear congressional authorisation. The decision has sent shockwaves through the global trade community, with allies like the European Union and the United Kingdom reconsidering their trade deals with the US. Trump's responseHours after the ruling, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing a 10 percent global tariff on foreign goods, acting quickly to keep his trade plans in place. Trump's global tariffs were imposed on allies from Canada to India, with the latter facing a 50 percent tariff until recently. Trump has vowed to continue his trade agenda, using alternative laws to impose tariffs.
