Governors have gathered for the annual National Governors Association dinner after a tense week. President Donald Trump has mocked the group’s leaders and initially blocked Democratic Gov. Wes Moore and Gov. Jared Polis from a White House working meeting. He reversed course late. The meeting then ended early after Trump reacted to a Supreme Court ruling on Friday that struck down his tariff policy. Dozens of Democrats had threatened to boycott the dinner if members of their party were blocked from the working meeting. But even after Moore’s attendance, some said they still wouldn’t show up on Saturday.

There’s little that Donald Trump has cherished more in his second term than tariffs, a symbol of his imperious approach to the presidency. He has raised and lowered them at will, rewriting the rules of global commerce and daring anyone to stop him. Now that may be over, the victim of a stunning rebuke from the Supreme Court on Friday. Trump called the ruling “ridiculous” and said he is looking for other laws to keep tariffs in place. Democrats say the decision proves Trump broke the law. Polling from AP-NORC finds that most adults oppose tariffs and expect higher prices because of them.
