Wyden Applauds Appeals Court Ruling Striking Down Most Trump Tariffs

Washington, D.C. - Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., released the following statement applauding a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which affirmed a lower court ruling that Donald Trump's so-called emergency tariffs are illegal:

"Federal Courts have repeatedly done what Republican senators won't do - say in black-and-white that Donald Trump's tariff spree is illegal and cannot continue. Trump's trade taxes are jacking up prices on groceries, cars, clothes and scores of other essentials that American families need. My Democratic colleagues and I plan to force votes on repealing these harmful, regressive taxes at every opportunity. Ultimately Congress must seize back power over trade and make clear that Trump can't pay for billionaire tax cuts on the backs of working families."
