Trump describes as a "disgrace" the Supreme Court's decision that overturns most of his tariffs

Trump criticized the Supreme Court's decision that declared much of his tariffs unconstitutional, calling it a disgrace.

Former President Donald Trump responded to the Supreme Court's recent ruling, which declared a significant portion of his tariff policy unconstitutional, during a breakfast event with governors at the White House. Observers reported that Trump appeared to learn about the decision through a note handed to him while he was mingling with attendees. Following the revelation, Trump expressed his dismay, indicating that this loss was confirmation of a failure in his approach to trade policy.

In his criticism, Trump labeled the ruling a "disgrace" and went on to directly condemn the nine justices of the Supreme Court. This decision represents a significant setback for Trump's administration's trade agenda, which heavily relied on tariffs as a means of enforcing policies and negotiating trade deals. It raises questions about the future direction of U.S. trade policies under the subsequent administrations and the potential legal and economic ramifications of the court's ruling.

The Trump administration is reportedly exploring alternatives to mitigate the impact of the Supreme Court's decision on trade policies, suggesting that they are looking for a "Plan B" to navigate this challenging situation. This reaction highlights Trump's ongoing influence over Republican politics and how legal decisions can shape the trajectory of policies that affect the U.S. economy and international trade relations.
