flag Supreme Court questions Trump’s emergency tariffs, fearing unchecked executive power.

flag U.S. Supreme Court justices have questioned the legality of President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on multiple countries, with three conservative justices expressing concern over unchecked presidential authority. flag The case, the first major legal challenge to Trump’s presidency at the high court, centers on tariffs justified by a national emergency declaration over drug trafficking. flag Justices, including Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett, raised alarms about the broad scope of the emergency law, warning it could dangerously concentrate power in the executive branch and undermine Congress’s constitutional role in setting tariffs. flag The government argued the tariffs are part of foreign policy, not taxation, but challengers say they function like domestic taxes and require explicit congressional approval under the “major questions doctrine.” A decision is expected in weeks or months, with potential consequences for future trade policy and the balance of power between branches.
