Business leaders and elected officials in New York applauded the Supreme Court’s ruling Friday that struck down President Trump’s tariffs.
In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that Trump acted unconstitutionally in imposing tariffs on nations around the world last year without seeking or receiving Congressional approval. The president had argued that he had the authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, a claim New York and 11 other states contested in court last year.
