Supreme Court Tariff Ruling and the Future of U.S. Trade Authority

Fri, Feb 27, 2026 | 2:00 pm ET

On Friday, February 27 at 2:00 p.m. ET, The Capitol Forum will host a conference call with Todd N. Tucker, Director of Industrial Policy and Trade at the Roosevelt Institute. This timely discussion will examine the Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs, and the broader implications for U.S. trade authority, industrial policy, and global economic strategy. Drawing on his expertise in trade law, political economy, and industrial policy, Dr. Tucker will provide insight into how the ruling could reshape executive branch authority, trade enforcement, and the future use of tariffs as a policy tool.

We’ll also touch on topics such as:
• The legal and policy implications of the Supreme Court’s decision on tariff authority
• How the ruling may affect future presidential use of emergency economic powers
• The impact on U.S. industrial policy, supply chains, and domestic manufacturing strategy
• How Congress, the executive branch, and global trading partners may respond
• What the decision signals for the future of U.S. trade enforcement and economic policy

We hope you can join us for what promises to be an insightful and forward-looking conversation.
