Donald Trump says ‘we’re screwed’ if supreme court rejects global trade tariffs – US politics live

AI Summary

long article 6 min

Donald Trump has warned of a "complete mess" if the Supreme Court rejects his global trade tariffs, potentially ruling against them as early as Wednesday. The court is reviewing the legality of Trump's tariffs, a key element of his economic strategy, after justices expressed skepticism in November regarding the administration's authority to impose them. Trump claims that reversing the tariffs would be difficult, leading to potential refund claims from businesses and countries. Separately, Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are scheduled to meet with the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland on Wednesday amid renewed US interest in the Arctic island. Additionally, top central bankers have defended Fed Chair Jerome Powell following a US Department of Justice criminal investigation.
