The Supreme Court of the United States has clipped the power of the executive branch in ruling that President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs was illegal. The decision is leading thousands of companies to seek refunds, and threatening to upend trade agreements the U.S. previously struck with countries seeking lower rates. Meanwhile, the administration is vowing to implement new tariffs using different legal statutes.Just how much does this ruling curb the will of the president? Will businesses and households get refunds? And what’s in store for the future of global trade?Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm’s thought leaders on these issues — Ted Murphy, co-leader of Sidley’s Global Arbitration, Trade, and Advocacy practice, and Kwaku Akowuah, co-leader of the firm’s Supreme Court, Appellate, and Litigation Strategies practice. Together, they discuss the Supreme Court’s tariffs ruling and its impact on executive power, the effect of the decision on businesses, consumers, and supply chains, and the prospects for those who request refunds.
