- Trump responded by calling the ruling “deeply disappointing” and accused the justices of being “unpatriotic,” while signing an executive order to impose a 10% global import tax under national security grounds.
- Tariffs have been politically unpopular, linked to higher consumer prices and slowed hiring, with many Republicans and voters expressing concern over the economic impact.
- The ruling highlights tensions within the Republican Party, as prominent figures like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and former Vice President Mike Pence criticized Trump’s unilateral tariff actions.
- Tariffs were central to Trump
