Washington, February 21: U.S. President Donald Trump has responded to the Supreme Court’s ruling that halted his tariffs, labeling it “disgraceful.” During a press conference, he claimed that certain individuals are “looting America” and warned that they won’t remain happy for long. Trump also threatened to impose additional tariffs.
He expressed disappointment over the court’s decision, stating he did not expect such a ruling. Trump described the Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs as extremely disheartening and expressed shame towards some justices for lacking the courage to act in the nation’s interest. He emphasized that no one can oppose the dissenting opinions when read.
Trump accused the court of being influenced by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than public sentiment. He asserted that he won by millions of votes, despite significant fraud, and that his victory was so substantial that it could not be overturned.
He characterized the opposition as arrogant, ignorant, and loud, suggesting that some judges are intimidated by them and reluctant to do the right thing out of fear. He stressed that this issue is crucial for national economic security and is vital for the country.
Trump claimed that the court has bowed to foreign interests and mentioned that there are more options available regarding tariffs. His goal remains to make America great again. He dismissed the court’s ruling as incorrect but stated it would not deter him. He hinted at the possibility of collecting more revenue and mentioned that trade could be halted with any country, proposing a 10% global tariff on all nations.
He concluded by stating that the Supreme Court’s decision has only strengthened his resolve, asserting that those pleased with the ruling will not remain so for long. Trump indicated that stricter measures regarding tariffs would be implemented.
Notably, the U.S. Supreme Court recently invalidated Trump’s tariffs, stating that he does not have the authority to impose significant import duties on trade partners worldwide, including India, under the 1977 Emergency Act.
