SCOTUS Reins in Executive Tariff Power: The Major Questions Doctrine Hits Trade

The Supreme Court has issued a landmark 6-3 ruling limiting the President's authority to impose broad-based tariffs without explicit Congressional approval. The decision applies the 'Major Questions Doctrine' to trade law, effectively staying the administration's 10% universal baseline tariff and creating a new era of legislative-heavy trade compliance.
