Georgia companies await what’s next after the U.S Supreme Court ruled Trump’s sweeping tariffs unconstitutional Friday. Other tariffs, like those on steel and aluminum, remain, which could still impact Atlanta-based home builders and companies like Coca-Cola.

President Donald Trump spent part of his Thursday visit to a Georgia steel company talking up his own tariffs and economic policy. He even called them the “greatest thing to happen to this country.”

Even though the Supreme Court struck down most of the import taxes the next day, some will still impact Georgia companies.
