Steel & Aluminum Tariffs Could Spark Supreme Court Battle, Impacting U.S. Businesses
As the U.S. prepares for a sharp 50% tariff increase on steel and aluminum imports, set to take effect this Wednesday under former President Donald Trump, small businesses are bracing for economic turbulence. At False Idol Brewing in North Richland Hills, aluminum cans are a critical part of their operation. Co-founder Brandon Pitzer says the immediate impact is delayed, but price increases are inevitable.
“We already pay higher costs than large-scale producers,” Pitzer notes, highlighting the pressure these international trade tariffs place on smaller operations.
While business owners try to stay flexible, legal experts suggest the battle over these tariffs may be far from over.
“There's always a chance that it will go all the way up to the Supreme Court,” said Michelle Schulz, founder and managing partner of Schulz Trade Law.“I think you also have to be agile, be ready to pivot, but maybe expect the worst, plan for the best—or vice versa.”
These sweeping changes to U.S. trade policy raise serious concerns for importers, manufacturers, and supply chain managers alike. Companies need to stay informed and legally prepared.
