**JUST IN: US Supreme Court Warns Trump, Signals Consequences After 10% “Global Tariff” Order Overrides Ruling Limiting Emergency Power Authority**

*February 22, 2026 — Washington, D.C.* — In a dramatic constitutional clash, the **U.S. Supreme Court** has sharply constrained presidential powers after a 6–3 ruling that **former President Donald Trump exceeded his authority** by imposing sweeping global tariffs under emergency law. The Court’s majority held that the **International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)** does not grant the president the power to unilaterally impose tariffs — a power the Constitution vests with **Congress**.

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice **John Roberts** underscored that major economic decisions with vast political and financial implications require *clear* congressional authorization. The Court warned that allowing a president to impose broad tariff levies on trading partners without explicit legislative backing could undermine constitutional checks and balances.

Despite the ruling, Trump **signed an executive order imposing a 10 % global tariff** on imports from all countries, citing alternative statutory authority — such as Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 — and vowed to pursue further tariff measures. The tariff is temporary under the statute and is limited to 150 days unless Congress acts to extend it.

Trump fiercely criticized the Supreme Court after the ruling, calling the decision “terrible” and attacking justices who joined the majority. He claimed the Court had misunderstood the scope of emergency powers and indicated his administration would continue to explore other legal routes to maintain or expand trade levies.

Legal experts say the high court’s ruling is a significant check on executive power — reining in a broad interpretation of emergency authority that had never before been used to justify tariffs of such scale. But they also note unresolved questions, including how previously collected tariffs might be handled and whether future tariffs under other laws will face fresh legal challenges.

Internationally, the uncertainty is rippling through global markets and diplomatic circles. Several trading partners have expressed concern about the unpredictability of U.S. trade policy, even as some domestic industries applaud efforts to protect American manufacturing.
