U.S. Halts Tariffs After Supreme Court Declares Them Illegal

The United States will officially stop collecting a series of tariffs that the Supreme Court recently ruled unlawful under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Beginning at 12:01 a.m. EST on Tuesday, February 24 , U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will deactivate all tariff codes tied to former President Donald Trump’s IEEPA-based orders.  The decision follows a 6–3 Supreme Court ruling that found the administration lacked authority to impose broad, emergency‑based tariffs under IEEPA, noting that the law contains no reference to duties.  CBP’s move raises significant questions about potential refunds for importers who paid the now‑invalidated tariffs. While these IEEPA‑related duties will end immediately, other Trump‑era tariffs imposed under different legal authorities remain in place.

Russia Open to Ukraine Peace Talks if Trump Initiates Them, Envoy Says

In a recent statement, Russia has expressed its openness to engage in peace talks to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, provided that the initiative comes from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Gennady Gatilov, Russia's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, emphasized that any negotiations would need to be grounded in the current realities of Russian advances.

Trump has been vocal about his criticism of the extensive Western aid provided to Kyiv and has promised to swiftly end the conflict, although he has not detailed his approach. His victory in the November 5 presidential election has raised concerns in Kyiv and other European capitals about the future level of U.S. support for Ukraine.

Gatilov acknowledged that while Russia welcomes the prospect of Trump initiating the political process, he remains realistic about the challenges ahead. He noted that any peace talks must reflect the situation on the ground, where Russian forces have made significant advances.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has consistently maintained that peace can only be achieved once all Russian forces are expelled and all territories, including Crimea, are returned to Ukraine. He has warned that any concessions to Russia would be unacceptable for Ukraine and detrimental to European security.

As the world watches closely, the potential for new dialogue between Russia and the United States under Trump's leadership presents a complex and uncertain path forward for the conflict in Ukraine.
