The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, undercutting his signature economic policy and delivering his biggest legal defeat since he returned to the White House.

Voting 6-3, the court said Trump exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency-powers law to impose his “reciprocal” tariffs across the globe as well as targeted import taxes the administration says address fentanyl trafficking.

The justices didn’t address the extent to which importers are entitled to refunds, leaving it to a lower court to sort out those issues. If fully allowed, refunds could total as much as $170 billion - more than half the total revenue Trump’s tariffs have brought in.

Ted Sarandos, co-chief executive officer of Netflix, said his company’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery will lead to more films in theaters, addressing a key complaint from Hollywood in the high-stakes battle for one of the industry’s iconic studios.

A merger of Netflix and Warner Bros. is “better for theaters” because Netflix will be able to take its films and put them in cinemas using the distribution network that Warner Bros. has built. He speaks about this and more in a special conversation with Bloomberg Tech co-host Ed Ludlow and Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Media & Entertainment Lucas Shaw.
