“In dollar terms, the Tax Foundation’s Erica York and Alex Durante found ‘the Trump tariffs amounted to an average tax increase per US household of $1,000 in 2025.’ Even after Friday’s ruling, ‘the President’s remaining new tariffs under Section 232 amount to average tax increase per US household of $400 in 2026.’ So, any relief, even if only partial, from the Trump administration’s trade war should be welcome news to Americans and for the prosperity around the world encouraged by relatively free trade. But the Supreme Court’s decision also reinforced overall boundaries around presidential power – power that has grown for decades beyond constitutional limits.” (02/23/26)
