Supporting Image for Blog Post

 

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that President Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unlawful. Within hours, the President issued an Executive Order rescinding the IEEPA tariff orders, directed that collections cease as soon as practicable, and threatened a new 15% across-the-board tariff on all countries.
