Trump's first reaction to US Supreme Court's tariff ruling - 'I have backup plan’

In a recent meeting with state governors, former President Donald Trump expressed his discontent with the US Supreme Court's decision regarding tariffs, labeling the ruling as a 'disgrace.' Trump emphasized his belief that the court's verdict undermines his previous efforts to impose tariffs, which he argues were crucial for protecting American industries. Despite his strong criticism of the ruling, he assured his supporters that he has a 'backup plan' in place to address the challenges posed by the court's decision. This ruling has significant implications for trade policy and economic strategy, as tariffs have been a cornerstone of Trump's approach to international trade during his presidency. The reaction from Trump reflects ongoing tensions between the executive and judicial branches regarding economic governance, particularly as the US navigates complex trade relationships globally. Trump's comments also highlight the continuing influence of his administration's policies on current political discourse, as he prepares to maintain relevance in the Republican party ahead of the upcoming elections.
