Business Roundtable Statement on Supreme Court IEEPA Decision
February 20, 2026
Washington - Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten today issued the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling regarding the Trump Administration’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to implement tariffs:
“In light of this morning’s Supreme Court ruling, Business Roundtable encourages the Administration to recalibrate its approach to tariffs, focusing on targeted actions to address specific unfair trade practices and national security concerns. To effectively combat the most critical trade challenges from non-market economies, we encourage coordination between the United States and its allies.
“The Administration has made significant strides to strengthen America’s competitiveness by enacting pro-growth tax policies and reducing the regulatory burden. A stable trading system with more focused tariffs would help unleash America’s full economic potential.”
