Supply Chains Brace for Renewed Turbulence as Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6‑3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give the president authority to impose the sweeping tariffs enacted under the Trump administration, effectively nullifying roughly $175 billion in duties. Ports and logistics firms are preparing for a surge in cargo flow while awaiting guidance on refunds. The administration responded by announcing a new 10 % global tariff under the Trade Act of 1974, adding another layer of uncertainty. Industry analysts warn that other tariff regimes remain intact, prolonging exposure for importers.
