  • Citing the major questions doctrine, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the IEEPA did not grant broad tariff authority, prompting legal shifts.
  • Researchers projected the new tariffs would cost the average U.S. household between $600 and $800, with effective tariff rates shifting from 16% to 9.1% then 13.7%.

  • By citing Sections 232 and 301, the administration appears to plan longer-term restructuring, and Alan Wolff of the Peterson Institute for International Economics said no previous president used Section 122 for broad tariffs, calling it unusual.
