Klobuchar Statement on the U.S. Court of International Trade Overturning President Trump’s Tariff Taxes

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement on the U.S. Court of International Trade overturning President Trump’s tariff taxes in a unanimous three-judge decision.
“This unanimous verdict by judges appointed by Presidents Trump, Obama, and Reagan restores sanity and stability to our trade policies. Instead of raising costs by nearly $3,000 per family, we should bring relief to the American people who have faced higher costs and chaos for far too long under Trump’s tariff taxes. As the judges ruled, ‘The Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive powers to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.”’ The President clearly overstepped his authority with these across-the-board tariffs.”
In April, the
Senate passed
Klobuchar’s bipartisan resolution with Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Mark Warner (D-VA) to reverse President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs on Canadian goods.
Klobuchar joined Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to introduce the
Trade Review Act of 2025
, bipartisan legislation that would bring stability and accountability to U.S. trade policy by reasserting limits on the president’s ability to unilaterally impose tariffs without the approval of Congress.
