Legal Expert Jonathan Turley Confirms President Donald Trump Still Has Powerful Tools Available — Including a Massive Tariff Toolbox — Following SCOTUS Outrageous Ruling

In a deeply controversial 6–3 decision released Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump’s use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping global tariffs exceeded presidential authority.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, argued that the statutory language allowing a president to “regulate importation” does not include the power to impose tariffs, a form of ‘taxation’ that the Court says rests with Congress.
