U.S. Democratic leaders on Friday hailed the Supreme Court's decision of striking down President Donald Trump's sweeping emergency tariffs as "a victory."
"The Supreme Court decision striking down the harmful Trump Tariffs is a big victory for the American people. And another crushing defeat for the wannabe King," U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on X after the decision.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the decision a "win for the wallets of every American consumer."
"Trump's illegal tariff tax just collapsed -- He tried to govern by decree and stuck families with the bill," Schumer wrote on X. "Enough chaos. End the trade war."
California Governor Gavin Newsom went a step further, demanding that President Trump refund everyone affected with interest for what he called an "illegal cash grab" from day one.
His press office cited a Yale Budget Lab report estimating the tariffs cost the average U.S. family 1,751 dollars in 2025.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration's sweeping tariffs under a law meant for use in national emergencies are illegal. In a 6-3 ruling, the court said that the tariff policies under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are unconstitutional, officially striking down the tariffs Trump has introduced since April.
The justices ruled that the president did not have the authority under the IEEPA to impose import tariffs on goods from nearly all U.S. trading partners and the voting upheld that it is the right of Congress to impose taxes, not the president.
