US EditionMoreno Calls for GOP to Codify Scuttled Trump Tariffs
The court ruled 6-3 that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, creating uncertainty over refunds and future tariffs under other laws, with consumers bearing about 90% of tariff costs in 2025.
- In a 6-3 decision on Jan. 27, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the use of IEEPA to impose tariffs, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing the majority opinion.
- In April 2025, President Donald Trump invoked IEEPA to impose tariffs, suspending the de minimis rule and expanding levies on imports, with justices questioning legality.
- Analyses show the effective tariff rate climbed to 16.9%, the highest since 1932, while the Tax Foundation found tariffs cost the average consumer $1,000 in 2025 and $1,300 in 2026.
- The White House and analysts say they could recreate tariffs rapidly via other statutes if IEEPA is struck down, but Zandi says refunds are uncertain and legislation is unlikely.
- If not replaced, the Tax Policy Center says taxes could fall by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, saving families $1,200 in 2026, but other tariff authorities mean burdens persist.
