On Friday, President Trump expressed strong disapproval of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that invalidated his approach to implementing tariffs on Canada and numerous other nations. The Court ruled that his invocation of emergency powers to impose such tariffs was unlawful, leading Trump to label the ruling as 'ridiculous' and the justices involved as 'a disgrace.' This decision has significant implications for his trade policy agenda which heavily relies on tariffs as tools for negotiations.

In response to the setback, Trump reassured his supporters that he will still find ways to further his trade objectives. He announced plans to introduce a new executive order aiming for a 10 percent global tariff under a different legal basis, suggesting he remains steadfast in using tariffs despite the legal challenges. This move reflects his strategy of leveraging tariffs to extract trade concessions and navigate international diplomacy.

Trump's remarks, which were delivered in front of a large audience at the White House, included criticism of certain justices of the Supreme Court, reflecting his broader tension with the judiciary. This episode highlights ongoing conflicts between the executive branch and the judiciary, particularly in matters of economic policy, and raises questions about the future of U.S. trade relations if tariffs are implemented through alternative means.
