Supreme Court blocks Trump’s global tariffs, sparks political reactions

New York leaders reacted after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs on Friday, Feb. 20, with Gov. Kathy Hochul praising the ruling and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman having previously defended the president’s trade policies, even as he has not publicly commented on the latest decision.

Hochul campaign spokesperson Ryan Radulovacki said in a statement that the ruling confirms concerns about the cost and legality of the tariffs.
