Congressman Morgan McGarvey Reacts to Supreme Court Ruling Trump’s Tariffs Illegal
WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 20, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe:
“Today the Supreme Court confirmed what Kentucky families have known from the start: Trump’s tariffs are illegal.
“From bourbon getting wiped off Canadian shelves to Louisville families paying $1,300 more a year just for everyday goods and services, Kentuckians have been footing the bill for this President’s reckless, ego-driven trade war.
“The White House should pay back the billions it owes to the small businesses and families it screwed over, and we will hold this administration accountable for every dollar it took from working families.”
