MESA, Ariz.,—Today, following the ruling that the Trump administration’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are unconstitutional, U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton issued the following statement:
“Today’s ruling is a victory for hardworking Americans. President Trump’s self-defeating tariff power grab was an illegal overreach that raised costs for families and businesses under a false emergency.
“This unlawful use of “emergency” authorities to impose tariffs is an overreach of presidential power, and the ruling sends a clear message. We will keep fighting to protect our economy from reckless policies that hurt everyday Americans.”
