Trump slams Supreme Court after tariff setback; ‘they will rule in favour of China’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his discontent with the Supreme Court following a significant ruling that invalidated his administration's tariffs on Chinese goods. In a 6-3 decision, the court deemed the tariffs unconstitutional, sparking Trump's criticism of the judiciary as 'incompetent.' He accused the court of siding with China and pledged to explore alternative legal options to reinstate tariffs and expand licensing powers. This setback comes as Trump seeks to navigate the complexities of U.S.-China trade relations, which remain a contentious issue. His administration is now examining various statutes that could allow for the preservation of critical trade measures, reflecting Trump's ongoing commitment to a tough stance on China despite legal challenges. The ruling has implications not only for Trump's political future but also for the broader economic landscape as the U.S. grapples with the effects of its trade policies.
