In a landmark ruling on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that President Donald Trump lacked the authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), leading to significant legal and economic ramifications. The ruling, passed with a 6-3 vote, puts approximately $175 billion in collected duties at risk of refund claims, as businesses, including toy manufacturer Hasbro, seek to recover tariffs paid between 2025 and 2026. Trump's immediate response was to invoke Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, imposing a temporary 10% tariff on most goods, which he later raised to 15%, effective February 24, 2026. This move has drawn criticism for potentially increasing costs for American consumers and businesses, while also raising concerns about corruption as businesses may attempt to curry favor with the president to influence tariff decisions.
