CFO whose business fell 10% from tariffs cheers Supreme Court ruling: ‘No single person should have unilateral authority over tariffs’

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Friday that President Trump cannot impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, striking down certain levies on steel, aluminum, and Chinese imports. A CFO from Illinois-based manufacturer Trim-Tex, whose business fell 10% due to tariff uncertainty, welcomed the decision as necessary to prevent unilateral executive control over trade policy. The ruling offers potential relief to businesses, particularly small and midsize manufacturers, that have struggled with unpredictable tariff policies throughout 2025.
