Delaware Leaders Celebrate Supreme Court Win Against Trump-Era Tariffs

Friday, February 20, 2026 at 5:45 PM

Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings and Governor Matt Meyer praised the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn tariffs implemented during the Trump administration. The ruling struck down tariffs that were enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Delaware’s top officials are celebrating a major legal victory after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against tariffs put in place during the previous Trump administration.

Attorney General Kathy Jennings and Governor Matt Meyer both released public statements responding to the high court’s decision to eliminate tariffs that had been implemented through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act during Trump’s presidency.

Jennings characterized the Supreme Court’s decision as a significant win across multiple fronts. “The court’s ruling is a decisive victory for the rule of law, for common sense, and for affordability,” the Attorney General stated.

The legal challenge successfully overturned the IEEPA-based tariffs that had been a signature policy of the Trump administration’s trade approach.
