The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a significant portion of executive-imposed tariffs, marking a major shift in trade authority back toward Congress.

Recent economic indicators for early 2026 suggest a significant cooling period for the U.S. economy, challenging the 'roaring' growth narrative established during the first year of the Trump administration.
