WEBINAR: Supreme Court Tariff Decision: Impact on Employers and Next Steps

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A major U.S. Supreme Court decision is reshaping the trade landscape—and businesses are watching closely.

In a recent 6–3 ruling, the Court found that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing certain tariffs under federal emergency powers. The decision invalidates many country‑by‑country reciprocal tariffs, while leaving sector‑specific tariffs in place and raising new questions about what comes next—including the status of potential refunds.

To help employers understand the real‑world implications of this landmark ruling, the PA Chamber is hosting a timely webinar featuring John Murphy, Senior Vice President and Head of International at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. John will break down what the decision means for U.S. trade policy, how it may affect global supply chains and pricing, and what businesses should be watching as the administration and courts sort through the aftermath.

Whether your business is directly impacted by tariffs or simply navigating ongoing economic uncertainty, this webinar will provide critical insight into a rapidly evolving issue with broad implications for the U.S. economy.

FEATURED SPEAKER

John G. Murphy, Senior Vice President, Head of International, U.S. Chamber of Commerce

John G. Murphy directs the U.S. Chamber’s advocacy relating to international trade and investment policy. Since joining the Chamber in 1999, Murphy has led its successful campaigns to win congressional passage of trade agreements with a dozen nations and its advocacy to shape numerous other trade bills. He regularly represents the Chamber before Congress, the administration, foreign governments, and the World Trade Organization.

From 2001 to 2008, Murphy served as the Chamber’s vice president for Western Hemisphere Affairs and as executive vice president of the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America (AACCLA). In 2008, he received AACCLA’s Eagle of the Americas award, which is given annually to the individual who has “done the most to advance our mission of increased trade and investment between the United States and Latin America.”

In the 1990s, Murphy worked at the International Republican Institute (IRI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of democracy overseas, and at the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), which champions market-oriented economic reform around the world. From 1992 to 1993, he was the first Western lecturer in economics at the National University of Economics in Czechoslovakia.

From 2021-2024, Murphy has been recognized in Washingtonian magazine’s Most Influential List, which highlights people who work tirelessly as advocates to change and improve the federal policies that have large impacts on people, states, businesses, foreign affairs, safety, and security.

Murphy graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and he received his Master of Science degree from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He serves on the board of the United States Council for International Business and the Washington International Trade Foundation. He is fluent in Spanish.
