Episode Details

Former President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Courts decision to strike down most of his tariffs, calling it a disgrace. The ruling, which came during a meeting with the National Governors Association, was a six-three decision with two of Trumps appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, joining the liberal justices against him. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, stating Trump lacked clear authority to impose the tariffs. Trump had justified the tariffs as a response to trade deficits, national security threats, and issues like fentanyl from Mexico, Canada, and China. The courts decision could lead to refunds for companies and potential battles in lower courts, setting the stage for new tariff fights ahead of the midterms.
