Feb. 20: MichAuto Statement on SCOTUS IEEPA Decision
February 20, 2026
“The decision released this morning from the Supreme Court, striking down the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, correctly recognizes that the law was misapplied when targeting our friendly trading partners in North America and elsewhere.
While we recognize that other avenues exist for the Administration to again impose these tariffs, we continue to stress that Michigan’s businesses are disproportionately negatively impacted by tariffs, especially in our automotive, manufacturing, and agriculture sectors.
MichAuto and the Detroit Regional Chamber continue to support the use of tariffs as a means to ensure a level playing field in global economic exchange and will work with federal officials and the U.S. Trade Representative to achieve a balanced approach to international trade. It remains our focus and objective that the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico extend the USMCA this year. We are stronger together with our closest trade partners.”
– Glenn Stevens Jr., Executive Director, MichAuto; Chief Automotive and Innovation Officer, Detroit Regional Chamber
