Maria S. Salinas, President and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, responded to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding the administration’s use of emergency powers to impose global tariffs.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the tariffs is a meaningful victory for our local economy. Businesses have navigated higher costs and have held off on investments, all impacting our region’s ability to remain competitive. Tariffs function as taxes that disproportionately impact small businesses. This decision helps restore greater economic stability,” said Salinas.

The ruling comes after concerns from business leaders and organizations about the negative effects tariffs have had on operational expenses and investment decisions in the Los Angeles area.
