📖 Full Retelling
Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt joined President Trump and other U.S. governors at a White House meeting on Monday, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision that struck down the President's emergency tariffs, during which Stitt also discussed his administration's ongoing dispute with the federal government regarding the deployment of the National Guard. The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling represented a significant rebuke of Trump's assertion of executive authority over trade policy, with justices determining that the President had exceeded his constitutional powers by imposing the emergency tariffs without congressional approval. Governor Stitt, appearing on CBS News' "The Takeout" program following the White House gathering, addressed both the court's decision and his state's confrontation with the Biden administration over the Oklahoma National Guard's deployment status, which has become a flashpoint in the broader debate over states' rights versus federal control. The meeting between Trump and governors occurred against a backdrop of increasing tension between state and federal governments on multiple fronts, including immigration enforcement, disaster response, and now trade policy implementation.
