....world. Trump has launched a barrage of new tariffs over the last year. Despite Friday's ruling, many sectoral levies remain in place — and the president has already said that he'll turn to other options for more import taxes, including plans to impose a new 10 per cent tariff globally. But the Supreme Court decision upends a core set of tariffs that Trump rolled out using the 1977 Internation....

....al Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. IEEPA authorizes the president to broadly regulate commerce after declaring a national emergency. Over the years, presidents have turned to this law dozens of times, often to place sanctions on other countries. But Trump was the first to use it to implement tariffs.

.... levies that still stand today. Liberation Day' tariffs ----------------------- Trump used IEEPA to slap import taxes on nearly every country in the world last spring. On April 2, which Trump called Liberation Day, he imposed “reciprocal” tariffs of up to 50% on goods from dozens of countries — and a baseline 10 per cent tariff on just about everyone else. The 10 per cent tax ki....

....cked in early April. But the bulk of Liberation Day's higher levies got delayed by several months, and many rates were revised over time (in some cases after new “framework” agreements). Most went into effect Aug. 7. The national emergency underlying these tariffs, Trump argued at the time, was the long-running gap between what the US sells and what it buys from the rest of the world. Still....

Major trading partners impacted by Liberation Day tariffs include South Korea, Japan and the European Union — which combined export a range of products to the US, like electronics, cars and car parts and pharmaceuticals.

But just last month, Trump threatened to hike levies on certain South Korean products to 25 per cent — and countries worldwide still face sector-specific, non-IEEPA tariffs.

To justify these tariffs, Trump declared a national emergency ostensibly over undocumented immigration and the trafficking of drugs like fentanyl and the chemicals made to use it. The levies were first announced at the start of February 2025, but went into effect over time — and were at times delayed, reduced or heightened through furth....

Ahead of Friday's decision, “trafficking tariffs” on Canadian and Mexican imports were 35 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively, for goods that don't comply with the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. China, meanwhile, faced a 10% fentanyl-related tariff. That's down from 20 per cent imposed by Trump earlier last year. Chinese goods also once saw sky-high levies af....

Tariffs on Brazil over Bolsonaro trial -------------------------------------- Trump also used IEEPA to slap steep import taxes on Brazilian imports over the summer, citing the country's policies and criminal prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
