In a fiery press conference from Washington, President Donald Trump unleashed his fury over the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his sweeping tariff measures. Labeling the verdict as utterly shameful, Trump warned that America is being looted by foreign interests and promised swift retaliation with an additional 10% tariff on all global imports.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Trump lacked the authority under a 1977 emergency law to impose hefty import duties on trade partners worldwide, including India. This decision halted tariffs aimed at protecting American industries and national security.
Trump didn’t hold back, calling the ruling deeply disappointing and expressing shame over certain justices. ‘When you read the dissenting opinions, no one can argue against them,’ he declared, accusing the court of bowing to foreign influences and a minor political movement. Despite what he described as massive election fraud, Trump boasted of his landslide victory with millions of votes.
‘These people are arrogant, ignorant, and loud,’ Trump said of his critics. He insisted the judges fear them and refuse to do what’s right for the country. For Trump, tariffs symbolize economic national security, crucial for making America great again.
Undeterred, Trump vowed alternative measures. ‘We have other options. We might collect even more money. We can stop trade with any country. We’ll slap a 10% additional global tariff on everyone,’ he stated. The ruling, he claimed, has only strengthened his resolve. Those celebrating the decision will soon regret it, as tougher steps loom ahead.
As trade tensions escalate, Trump’s aggressive stance signals a new chapter in U.S. protectionism, potentially reshaping global commerce and testing the limits of executive power.
