Trump lashes out at ‘ridiculous’ Supreme Court tariff decision
Every delay has consequences.
President Donald Trump promised to persevere with his tariff agenda, despite the Supreme Court ruling against his use of his presidential emergency economic powers.
“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” Trump told reporters Thursday from behind the podium in the White House briefing room.
Trump underscored there were “methods, practices, statutes, and authorities” that were even stronger than the International Emergency Economic Powers Act before suggesting the Supreme Court may have “been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.”
“We have alternatives, great alternatives,” he said, citing Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Sections 122, 201, and 301, of the Trade Act of 1974, and Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, though Trump did praise Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whom he appointed, for his dissent.
Trump had used the authority to levy his Liberation Day tariffs and fentanyl-related duties against China, Canada, and Mexico.
Trump also announced during the press conference the imposition of a new 10% global duty using different statutes.
The ruling is the latest judicial decision to undermine Trump’s agenda, though the Supreme Court, which, at the moment, has a conservative majority. The court decided last July that the Judiciary Act of 1789 does not authorize nationwide injunctions, a win for the president.
TRUMP’S SECOND TERM RECORD SHOWS SPARSE BLACK VOTER POLICY WINS IN ANTI-DEI AGE
Friday’s decision came after Trump vented about the Supreme Court case on Thursday during an economic address in Georgia.
“I have to wait for this decision,” he said. “I’ve been waiting forever, forever, and the language is clear: that I have the right to do it as president. I have the right to put tariffs on, for national security purposes, countries that have been ripping us off for years.”
