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. If you’d like, I can expand this into a longer article, add quotes, or tailor it for a specific audience.

Trump Taps Fox News Host and Loyalists for Top White House Positions

 

President-elect Donald Trump has announced several key appointments for his upcoming administration, including the selection of Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth, a decorated Army veteran and outspoken supporter of Trump, has been a prominent figure on Fox News and is known for his conservative views.

In addition to Hegseth, Trump has chosen other loyalists for top positions. Florida Congressman Michael Waltz has been named National Security Adviser, bringing his experience as a former Green Beret and counterterrorism adviser. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will serve as Secretary of Homeland Security, despite her lack of direct experience in national security.

These appointments reflect Trump's preference for loyalty and alignment with his "Make America Great Again" agenda. Critics argue that the selection of media personalities and political loyalists over seasoned experts could lead to challenges in governance and policy implementation.

As Trump prepares to take office, the nation watches closely to see how these new appointments will shape his administration and impact U.S. domestic and foreign policies.
