YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda. CNN’s chief Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic explains how Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion, explained the decision in court.

Correction: A previous version of this video misstated the amount of money generated by Trump's emergency tariffs.
