Trump claims he has ‘absolute right’ to impose new tariffs after supreme court blow

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated many of his previously imposed import duties, Donald Trump claimed he retains the "absolute right" to impose tariffs through other means. He criticized the court's decision, accusing it of harming the U.S. Trump stated he has already begun implementing new tariffs, referencing Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, though these expire in July. The administration has initiated new trade investigations, potentially leading to another wave of permanent tariffs. These developments occur ahead of meetings with Mexican officials regarding the USMCA trade agreement and a planned meeting with China's Xi Jinping, which Trump suggested may be delayed. Trump continues to leverage U.S. economic power in international relations.
