The United States Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump's far-reaching global tariffs, finding them illegal.
The 6-3 decision centres on tariffs imposed under an emergency powers law, including a 10 per cent baseline tariff on nearly all countries, and 25 per cent levies on Canada and Mexico.
The majority found that it's unconstitutional for the president to unilaterally set and change tariffs because taxation power belongs to Congress.
President Trump says he will impose a new 10 per cent global tariff - and called the majority decision unpatriotic and a disgrace.
"It is my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

The Australian Federal Police says it's received reports of a crime in relation to Pauline Hanson's anti-Muslim comments.
It says further comment will be made at an appropriate time.
Responding to the AFP statement, Senator Hanson posted on Facebook that police are trying to use Labor's new hate speech laws to put her back in jail.
Opposition leader Angus Taylor says he doesn't agree with the One Nation leaders remarks regarding Muslims.
But he says if people want to migrate to Australia they must assimilate.
"I'm not into law enforcement but what I will say is I don't agree with Pauline Hanson in what she said - look what I believe - whatever their race or religion if they don't accept our way of life they shouldn't be coming."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor represents a quite extraordinary fall from grace for the former prince.
British police have released the 66-year-old after questioning him over allegations of misconduct in public office.
They say they're investigating a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein when he was working as a British trade envoy.
Meanwhile, the UK government says it will consider a law to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession.
Mr Albanese says it's a shocking turn of events.
"It's quite an extraordinary fall from grace, I must say from someone who had such an esteemed position and was in a position really of absolute privilege and to see this decline and fall is extraordinary."

Police investigating a series of shootings in Sydney say criminals located offshore are paying young people to commit offences in Australia.
They say they've charged four people, including a 16-year-old over the shooting of former NRL player Matt Utai on Tuesday.
Detective Acting Superintendent Brad Abdy says police are focused on identifying the overseas masterminds who are offering money to young people to commit crimes on their behalf.
"I mean these people offshore because it's simply too afraid to come to Australia and to New South Wales and commit crime and they're using young people to commit crime on their behalf promising them riches that they will never ever get."

Palestinians have held a funeral for an American teenager killed by an Israeli settler on Thursday in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says Nasrallah Mohammed Jamal Abu Siam, a 19-year-old Palestinian-American citizen, died from his injuries after he was shot by an Israeli settler in the village of Mukhmas on the first day of Ramadan.
A US embassy official condemned the violence, telling Reuters "The US Department of State has no higher priority than the safety and security of US citizens overseas."
At least 10 US citizens have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers since 2022 with none of these cases leading to criminal charges or US sanctions against the perpetrators.

In AFL, Clayton Oliver has impressed the Greater Western Sydney Giants in his first match with the club.
Recruited from Melbourne, Oliver made his presence felt during a practice match against Collingwood on Friday which saw GWS win by 35 points.
Assistant Coach Wayne Cripps says it was a solid performance by Oliver.
"He's only going to get better and better. Since he's been at the club, he's just been a fantastic leader. He's so competitive. He's been awesome for our young players, teaching them craft and just pushing them."
