Today, in response to the Supreme Court’s decision striking down President Trump’s tariffs, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement:
“The Supreme Court confirmed today that beyond just being reckless and vindictive, President Trump’s tariff scheme was also unconstitutional. The president bypassed Congress, hiking prices on everyday goods and crushing family budgets and local businesses across America. These tariffs are a hidden tax on you, paid by hardworking Americans, not foreign countries. Families in New York have already seen their costs go up by $4,200 because of the Trump Tariff Tax and can’t afford any more financial strain. I urge President Trump to respect this ruling, reimburse our small businesses for these illegal taxes, end these harmful tariffs immediately, and focus on lowering the cost of living for American families.“
