Neal Katyal: Indian-American Lawyer Who Challenged Trump's Tariffs in US Supreme Court

  • US Supreme Court overturned Donald Trump’s tariffs, ruling he overstepped legal authority without Congressional approval.
  • Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General, argued against Trump's use of the 1977 IEEPA for 'unjust, unconstitutional taxes'.
  • Katyal emphasized the ruling upheld the rule of law and the Constitution's power over presidential authority, calling it a 'constitutional milestone'.
  • Born to Indian immigrant parents, Katyal has argued over 50 Supreme Court cases, including defending the Voting Rights Act and challenging Trump's 2017 travel ban.
  • Trump criticized the SC ruling as 'ridiculous' and announced a new 10 percent global tariff on imports from all countries.
