L.A. Area Chamber Statement on Supreme Court Ruling On Tariffs
by L.A. Area Chamber
LOS ANGELES, CA, February 20, 2026 - Maria S. Salinas, President and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, issued the following statement today following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on 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."
