Today, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Angie Craig (MN-02) released the following statement after a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against President Trump’s worldwide tariffs.

“We cannot allow presidents to twist emergency declarations to circumvent the U.S. Constitution, usurp the role of Congress or ignore the courts. I applaud the U.S. Court of International Trade for protecting Congress’ exclusive authority under the U.S. Constitution to regulate commerce with other countries. The president’s whiplash tariffs have been a disaster for America’s farmers, consumers and small business owners, driving up costs and increasing uncertainty. I urge the president to respect the court’s ruling and focus his attention on meaningful negotiations with our trading partners to gain new access to foreign markets for America’s farmers.”
