Trump calls tariff ruling ‘unfortunate,’ says more duties to come without Congress

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening lamented the Supreme Court's recent striking down of his tariff regime, but claimed that he will proceed with his tariff agenda without Congressional backing despite the judicial setback. The President's remarks came after the Supreme Court ruled against his administration's tariff policies, which had imposed significant import duties on various goods. Trump, known for his protectionist economic approach, characterized the court's decision as 'unfortunate' while signaling his determination to continue pursuing tariff measures that he believes benefit American industries and workers. This stance sets up a potential constitutional confrontation between the executive and judicial branches, as the President appears prepared to circumvent the traditional legislative process on trade matters. Legal experts have raised concerns about the precedent of a president implementing major trade policies without congressional approval, as tariffs have traditionally been the domain of legislative authority. The administration's tariff regime had faced numerous legal challenges since its inception, with critics arguing that it exceeded presidential authority under international trade agreements and domestic law.
