Trump Vows ‘Absolute Right’ to Charge Tariffs, Despite US Supreme Court Ruling
Trump said he imposed a 10% tariff by executive order after the Supreme Court struck down prior tariffs and is seeking new legal bases for trade measures.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump said he retains the absolute right to impose tariffs in different ways after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his global tariffs last month. He posted on Truth Social that "I have the absolute right to charge TARIFFS in another form, and have already started to do so."
- The Supreme Court's February ruling found the 1977 national-emergency law did not provide legal authority for many tariffs Trump had imposed. That decision forced officials to reconsider parts of U.S. trade policy and search for alternative legal mechanisms to maintain tariffs.
- By executive order, the administration imposed a temporary 10% tariff under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act shortly after the Supreme Court ruling. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the new authority, combined with Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs, would maintain tariff revenue in 2026.
- Washington launched new trade probes last week into 60 economies including China, the EU, and Japan, investigations that could lead to additional long-term tariffs. Beijing's commerce ministry called the probes "extremely unilateral, arbitrary and discriminatory," accusing Washington of attempting to construct trade barriers.
- With U.S. officials preparing for USMCA talks with Mexico and a possible meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month, Trump also criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Judge James Boasberg in separate posts, escalating broader political conflicts.
