Birmingham - Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court ruling rejecting President Trump's sweeping global tariffs:

"Today, the Supreme Court affirmed what my Democratic colleagues and I have been arguing all along. President Trump's use of IEEPA (The International Emergency Economic Powers Act) to justify his global tariffs is illegal and unconstitutional. 

"The Constitution is clear. The power to regulate trade lies with Congress. As a member of the Trade Subcommittee on Ways and Means, I will continue to hold this president accountable, and I will never stop fighting to lower costs for Alabamians.

"We must return to a sensible trade policy that levels the playing field for American workers and businesses, respects and deepens our economic ties with our allies, and focuses on combating illegal trade practices from China."
