Which Trump tariffs did the Supreme Court strike down? Here's what to know

## Supreme Court Decision

The U.S. Supreme Court has invalidated several significant tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify these tariffs.

## Liberation Day Tariffs

Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, introduced in April 2025, targeted nearly every country with import taxes. These included a 10% baseline tariff and higher rates for specific countries. Major trading partners like the EU, Japan, and South Korea were affected, with tariffs reaching up to 50%.

## Trafficking Tariffs

In early 2025, Trump imposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, citing national emergencies related to immigration and drug trafficking. These tariffs varied, with Canada and Mexico facing 35% and 25% tariffs, respectively, on non-compliant goods.

## Tariffs on Brazil and India

Brazil faced additional tariffs due to political issues, while India was taxed for its purchase of Russian oil. Both countries saw tariffs reach 50% before recent trade agreements led to reductions.

## Future Tariff Plans

Despite the court's decision, Trump plans to implement a 10% global tariff using another legal provision. This move is intended to last 150 days unless extended by legislation.
