The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in USPS v. Konan delivers a significant setback for newspapers and other businesses that rely on the nation’s mail system, narrowing the ability to hold the United States Postal Service accountable for service failures.
The National Newspaper Association (NNA) today expressed strong approval of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the federal government exceeded its authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by imposing sweeping tariffs without clear Congressional authorization.
Earlier today, the appropriations package was passed by the House and signed by President Trump.
