Grassley Questions Supreme Court’s Silence on Trump Tariff Powers

Monday, February 23, 2026 at 8:45 PM

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says last week's Supreme Court decision leaves major questions unanswered about Trump's tariff authority. The court didn't address whether tariff refunds would be required or clarify presidential powers on trade policy.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is raising concerns about what last week’s Supreme Court decision means for former President Trump’s tariff policies, saying key questions remain unanswered.

According to Grassley, the nation’s highest court left significant issues unresolved in its recent ruling. “The Supreme Court was silent on whether refunds will need to be issued for the tariffs that President Trump has already levied. It also didn’t address whether the President has the authority under” existing trade laws, the senator stated.

The Republican lawmaker believes the full impact of the court’s decision on Trump’s trade policy implementation is still unclear, leaving businesses and trade partners uncertain about future implications.
