Supreme Court Rules Against Trump’s Tariff Policy

In a bipartisan 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner.

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. I’d like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom. The court said that I’m not allowed to charge even $1. I can’t charge $1, can’t charge $1. I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country. I’m even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo —I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1. I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court because I understand the court. I understand how they are very easily swayed. I want to be a good boy. I have very effectively utilized tariffs over the past year to make America great again. All of those tariffs remain. They all remain. I don’t know if you know that or not. They all remain. We’re still getting them and we will after the decision. I’m very good at reading language and it read our way 100 percent. But now I’ll go the way I could have gone originally.

In a bipartisan 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner.
