US President Donald Trump has commented on the tariffs imposed on foreign countries currently under review in the Supreme Court. At an event in Pennsylvania, he said any ruling against the tariffs will impact US security. He criticized petitions filed in courts that oppose the tariffs.
Trump said that the tariffs he imposed have brought in hundreds of billions of dollars, adding that he will continue with similar measures in the future.
Taking to social media, Trump warned that a ruling against him would weaken US economic security. He promised to retaliate against what he feels is unfair treatment by other nations against the US. He stressed that nobody should stand in his way to do all these things. According to Trump, slapping tariffs on countries trading with the US has hardened national security.
Trump has utilized the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to place tariffs on several countries. Some courts have blocked such actions, citing that this might be overstepping by the president in federal authority under the law in question. The US government has gone to the Supreme Court to appeal and the review is pending.
