For the past year, concerns about the U.S. and global economy have boiled down to President Trump 's sweeping tariffs. - On Friday, that worry was wiped away as the Supreme Court ruled that the unilaterally imposed levies were illegal. Why it matters: The bottom just fell out of the administration's economic — and in many cases, geopolitical — agenda. - No longer does Trump have a tariff "on/off" switch that underpinned many economic threats, reignited fears about inflation and impacted the nation's fiscal outlook. - Future tariffs will need to be imposed by lengthy, more technical trade authorities — or through Congress. What they're saying: "Call it Liberation Day 2.0—arguably the first one with tangible upside for U.S.…

President Trump said Friday that he is "absolutely ashamed" of the Supreme Court after it struck down his sweeping tariffs agenda.
