UPDATE: Yellen Warns The US Will Be A 'Deadbeat Country' if It Defaults

The Supreme Court has struck down Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs. 

Breaking news analysis from Bloomberg:

In a 6 to 3 ruling, the Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariff program, dismantling his signature economic policy and delivering his most significant legal setback since returning to the White House. 

The justices ruled that the President exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency powers law to impose so-called reciprocal tariffs worldwide, along with targeted import taxes the administration said were necessary to combat fentanyl trafficking. 

However, the Court did not address whether importers are entitled to refunds. That issue now returns to a lower court, and the financial stakes are substantial. If refunds are ultimately required, they could total as much as 170 billion dollars, more than half of the total revenue generated by the tariff program. 

For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Intelligence co-hosts Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu speak with:

Tyler Kendall, Bloomberg Washington Correspondent
June Grasso, Bloomberg Legal Analyst and host of Bloomberg Law 
Henrietta Treyz, Managing Partner and Director of Economic Policy at Veda Partners 
Dave Townsend, Partner at Dorsey and Whitney

Stay with us as we break down the legal reasoning, the economic implications, and what this means for the administration’s broader trade agenda.
