(NAFB.com) – Farmers for Free Trade reacted to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to strike down President Trump’s authority on global tariffs implemented through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Executive Director Brian Kuehl said the decision is an important step toward restoring predictability and the rule of law in American trade policy. “Tariffs imposed under IEEPA have been devastating for American farmers, driving up costs for inputs like fertilizer, equipment, and parts while triggering retaliatory tariffs that cut off critical export markets,” Kuehl said. “Farmers have been caught in the crossfire, paying more for what they need while losing access to the customers they depend on.” He also said that Farmers for Free Trade remains deeply concerned that the administration will reimpose tariffs through other means. “The focus now should be on stable trade relationships and expanding market access for American agricultural products,” Kuehl added.
