President Trump Warns of 'Dark and Sinister Forces' as Supreme Court Decision on Tariffs Looms
President Donald Trump has expressed concern over a pending Supreme Court decision that could impact his authority to impose tariffs, a key component of his economic policy. Trump has utilized tariffs extensively since retaking office, arguing that they bolster national security and strengthen the U.S. economy. However, the Supreme Court is reviewing a case that challenges his executive power to impose these tariffs without congressional approval. The case was expedited at the request of the Trump administration, and a ruling against the tariffs could undermine a significant part of Trump's policy agenda. Lower courts have previously ruled against the administration's broad use of tariffs, which Trump has applied to both adversaries and allies, citing national emergencies under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
