                     SUPREME COURT TARIFF DECISION

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and every day on behalf of the 
people of northwestern Ohio: farmers, factory workers, small business 
owners, nurses, veterans, and retirees. They carry the heavy burden of 
President Trump's reckless trade war.
  Tariffs hit our region harder than almost anywhere in our country. 
Why? We make and grow America.
  Our soybean growers saw foreign markets slam shut and prices tumble, 
all because the President acted carelessly. Many are still waiting to 
be made whole as export markets vanish.
  Our manufacturers, from steel processors to auto suppliers, are 
writing off huge losses, paying more on parts for materials, squeezing 
margins, and laying off workers.
  Small retailers, restaurants, and childcare centers face higher costs 
they cannot absorb. Every family pays more at the checkout counter, and 
tariffs and reckless trade wars raise prices.
  The Supreme Court affirmed that our Constitution still matters and 
President Trump overstepped his authority. These policies must be 
thoughtful, and Americans deserve stable markets and leadership that 
fights for our producers and workers.
