US Supreme Court Overturns Trump's Controversial Global Tariff Decision

Kathmandu. The Supreme Court of the United States has overturned President Donald Trump's controversial decision regarding the global tariff (duty) implemented since last year.

The court ruled 6-3 that Trump had exceeded his jurisdiction in making such a decision, thus invalidating the tariff.

Chief Justice John Roberts, along with three conservative judges and three liberal judges, voted against the tariff, while three judges dissented. In its ruling, the Supreme Court stated that it was wrong for the President to impose broad tariffs using the law reserved for national emergencies.

The court clarified that the 'International Emergency Economic Powers Act' does not grant the President the authority to impose customs duties. Earlier on Thursday, at an event in Georgia, President Trump advocated for the tariff, claiming that everyone would go bankrupt without it.

He also asserted that as President, he retained the authority to set tariffs and that the language of the law was clear. Following the Supreme Court's decision, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with this long-awaited ruling.

The court, which heard arguments on this matter last November, ultimately delivered this decision, dealing a major blow to Trump's economic agenda.
