House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said that Congress and the Trump administration would find a path forward on tariffs, coming after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the policy on Feb. 20.

Responding to the Supreme Court ruling, Johnson wrote in a post on X that the import taxes had “brought in billions of dollars and created immense leverage for America’s trade strategy.”
