WASHINGTON (AP): The United States (US) Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's far-reaching global tariffs on Friday (Feb 20), handing him a significant loss on an issue crucial to his economic agenda.

The decision centers on tariffs imposed under an emergency powers law, including the sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs he levied on nearly every other country.
