Trump’s ‘economic war’ But the Supreme Court broke again, the decision did not come even for the second time; World tension increased

US Supreme Court On Trump Tariff: The Supreme Court of the United States has struck down the controversial ‘reciprocal tariffs’ But have once again reserved their decision.

This is the second consecutive time that the court has postponed the decision on this important economic matter. Earlier also on January 9, the court had postponed the decision and now even in the hearing on January 14, nothing has been said about the next date.

What is this controversy?

This entire matter is related to President Trump’s policy, under which he had unilaterally imposed tariffs (import duties) ranging from 10% to 50% on almost all the major trading partners of America. The Trump administration used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) to justify these tariffs. Trump argues that the huge trade deficit and trafficking of illegal drugs like fentanyl are a ‘national emergency’ To deal with this, these tariffs are necessary.

Legal challenge and opponents’ arguments

Trump’s move has been challenged by businessmen from 12 Democrat-ruled American states. The petitioners say that the IEEPA law was intended only to deal with genuine emergency situations, and not to give the President the power to change the country’s entire trade policy. Their main argument is that the constitutional authority to set tariffs and trade fees rests primarily with the US Congress (Parliament), not the President.

warning of economic disaster

According to experts and President Trump himself, the consequences of this decision will be huge for the US economy. If the Supreme Court declares these tariffs illegal, then the US government may have to return about $ 130 to 150 billion in duty (tax) collected so far to the traders. Trump has already warned on social media that if the government loses this case, it would be an ‘economic disaster’ Will be similar to.

Court’s stance

Earlier, lower federal courts have declared many tariffs of the Trump government illegal. Even during the oral hearing held in November 2025, the judges had expressed skepticism about this expansion of the President’s emergency powers. At present, uncertainty in the business world has increased due to postponement of the decision by the Supreme Court.
