What the Supreme Court’s tariff ruling means for the prices you’re paying

The Supreme Court invalidated Trump’s emergency tariffs, prompting a new 10% global tariff plan and potential refunds for billions, impacting U.S. businesses and consumers.

  • On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down many of the administration's tariffs, lowering the effective tariff rate to around 4.5%.
  • The court noted other statutory authorities remain available to the administration, including laws that previously allowed large steel and aluminum tariffs.
  • The conservative-leaning Tax Foundation estimated Trump's tariffs added $1,000 in costs for the average U.S. household in 2025, but consumers likely won't get refunds for higher prices paid months ago.
  • Market response: companies remain reluctant to cut prices, and economists don't expect the decision to drive a dramatic overnight drop in consumer costs.
  • Looking ahead, officials have not settled on a path after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act on Friday.
