Senator Collins’ Statement on SCOTUS Striking Down Emergency Tariffs

WASHINGTON, D.C.– U.S. Senator Susan Collins issued the following statement after the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down emergency tariffs imposed by the President:
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling reaffirms that only Congress has the constitutional authority to impose tariffs, and the President can only do so under a clear and limited delegation of authority from Congress. My votes against the President unilaterally imposing tariffs on Canada reflected the same conclusion as well as my belief that these tariffs often harm Maine’s economy and consumers.”
