NDFU issues statement on Supreme Court’s tariff decision

North Dakota Farmers Union President Matt Perdue welcomed today's Supreme Court decision that overturns the Administration's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs.

"The Supreme Court's decision affirms that Congress, not the executive branch, has the authority to impose tariffs. Over the past year, trade disputes with key partners have created major headwinds for family farmers and ranchers. Today's decisionshould restore some market stability and reduce input cost pressures.

"We urge the Administration and Congress to work together on trade policies that prioritize market access and lower input costs. As they work to stabilize those relationships, we also need to take care of business here at home. We will continue to work with Congress to complete the farm bill, grow domestic market opportunities and strengthen competition in the markets we buy from and sell to."
