Donald Trump attacks supreme court over tariffs again in late-night social media post – US politics live

AI Summary

long article 7 min

In a recent social media post, Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court after it ruled some of his previously imposed import tariffs illegal. The court found the Trump administration lacked sufficient legal justification under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for the tariffs. Trump claimed he retains the "absolute right" to impose tariffs using other means and has already begun doing so. He previously implemented 10% tariffs on goods under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, set to expire in July, and has threatened to raise them to 15%. The administration has initiated trade investigations, potentially leading to new permanent tariffs. Separately, severe weather has delayed House votes until Tuesday. Oil prices have also risen due to supply concerns after the US struck Iran's Kharg Island oil hub.
