Trump: Supreme Court’s rejection of tariffs ‘deeply disappointing’

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected tariffs issued by President Trump the previous year. The court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that Trump lacked the authority to impose the tariffs under the law he cited, which was intended for national emergencies. President Trump responded by calling several of the Supreme Court justices a "disgrace." The ruling centered on the scope of presidential power in enacting tariffs and the interpretation of the relevant law. The decision limits the president's ability to unilaterally impose tariffs without Congressional approval.
