New Update:
The US Supreme Court scrambled the trade landscape Friday with a decision striking down the centerpiece of President Trump's second-term tariff program.
The 6-3 ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump appears set to immediately halt a massive section of Trump's tariffs announced last year on "Liberation Day" using a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The law gives the president the ability to declare an economic emergency and take action but doesn't specify tariffs as a remedy.
