Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs have been struck down by the US Supreme Court, in a major blow to the president's economic agenda, that he calls a "disgrace"

With a 6-3 majority, the Supreme Court rules Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed tariffs via a law reserved for national emergencies - they say he needs congressional approval to impose taxes on imports. BBC reported.

The ruling applies to his so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs, but not individual tariffs he's imposed on specific countries or products

Trump has long argued tariffs boost American manufacturing - but many in the business community, as well as Trump's political adversaries, say the costs are passed on to consumers
