“Today's decision is a resounding victory for New Yorkers, American consumers and the rule of law. These reckless and unauthorized tariffs have burdened businesses with skyrocketing costs that have been passed along to consumers and wreaked havoc on our 401Ks — all without the legal authority to do so.
“This ruling affirms what I have said from the beginning: the Executive Branch does not have the power to unilaterally impose these sweeping economic measures that harm the very people we are sworn to serve. We stood up to protect the economic interests of our state, and today, justice prevailed.
“I thank the court for upholding the constitution and restoring a critical check on executive overreach. New York will always lead the fight to defend working families, uphold the law, and ensure government remains accountable to the people.”
