Vice President JD Vance has issued a scathing rebuke of the U.S. Supreme Court following its decision to strike down the administration's executive tariffs. Labeling the ruling as 'lawlessness,' Vance signaled a deepening constitutional rift over the executive branch's authority to regulate international commerce and national security.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the executive branch exceeded its authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs. In a swift response, Vice President JD Vance condemned the decision while President Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to implement a new 10% global tariff.
