Core Viewpoint - The article discusses two significant events occurring in Washington on February 20, 2026: President Trump's upcoming visit to China and the Supreme Court's ruling against the legality of tariffs imposed by his administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) [1][3].

Group 2: Supreme Court Ruling - The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the tariffs imposed under IEEPA lacked legal authorization, stating that the act does not mention "tariffs" or "tariff rates" [1][4]. - The ruling indicates that over $175 billion in tariffs collected since 2025 are considered "illegally imposed" and thus invalid [4]. Group 3: Economic Implications - The tariffs, which were a cornerstone of Trump's economic policy, ranged from 10% to 50% and were applied to major trading partners including China, the EU, Japan, and Canada [4]. - Following the ruling, hundreds of companies, including Costco, filed lawsuits for the return of the tariffs paid [4].
