Trump’s Tariffs Are Unlawful, Supreme Court Rules, Foreign Policy
February 20, 2026Foreign Policy quoted partner Katelyn Hilferty in an article about the US Supreme Court’s invalidation of the Trump administration’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to levy tariffs. Katie discussed some of the other laws the administration could use to impose further tariffs.
“Each of these different laws, they all have their own unique limitations,” Katie said. “Section 232 is probably the broadest, but it is not like IEEPA or an executive order and the ability to put on tariffs the next day.”
