United States President Donald Trump has warned that a potential Supreme Court decision limiting his authority to impose tariffs would undermine national security, as the country awaits a ruling on the legality of his tariff policies.
Trump issued the warning in a post on his Truth Social media
account on Monday.
His warning coincides with the Supreme Court’s ongoing
review of challenges to Trump’s extensive use of tariffs, a process that
commenced in early November.
“The biggest threat in history to United States National
Security would be a negative decision on Tariffs by the U.S. Supreme Court,”
Trump warned.
“We would be financially defenseless. Now Europe is going to
tariffs against China, as they already do against others.”
The US leader further argued, “We would not be allowed to do
what others already do!” referencing a photograph he shared of French President
Emmanuel Macron on a recent visit to China.
Recall that Macron had recently warned China that the
European Union could impose tariffs “in the coming months” if the East Asian
country did not address its trade surplus with Europe.
