The Supreme Court on Friday struck down most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. In a 6–3 decision, the high court ruled that the president does not have the authority to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs under a federal emergency powers law.

Trump is vowing to impose a new 10 percent global tariff as he sharply criticizes the Supreme Court ruling limiting his use of tariffs. The president is floating an investigation into potential foreign influence over the justices while saying the ruling actually makes his trade powers “more powerful.”

Iran’s foreign minister says Iran is prepared for negotiations—as well as for war. That comes as Trump says Iran must negotiate a fair deal after giving the regime 10 to 15 days to respond.
