DelBene Statement on Supreme Court Tariff Decision

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court’s tariff case decision:

“Today’s decision is a win for American families struggling under the high prices caused by President Trump's tariffs and an important step toward stopping Trump’s senseless trade wars.

“The president is not a king. These tariffs were always illegal. The court validated today that Congress – not an unchecked president – has the constitutional authority over trade policy.

“Republicans in Congress could have easily ended this economic crisis by standing up for their communities. Instead, they chose to bend the knee to Trump while families, small businesses, and farmers suffered from higher prices.

“The administration has promised to use other avenues to maintain these illegal tariffs. Congress must step up to put an end to this chaos and protect our economy.”
