"Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, like a bureaucratic Babe Ruth calling his shot, predicted President Donald Trump will emerge victorious and have the Supreme Court rule his tariffs are legal despite what some media outlets are reporting. Lutnick, during an appearance on Sean Hannity's program on Fox News on Wednesday night, did not mince words. The justices were on the president's side, Lutnick said, while wagging his finger. You are hearing it here from me President Trump is gonna win this case!"
"Other countries use tariffs against us, and we weren't able to openly and freely use tariffs against them, Trump told reporters on Sunday. I'll give you an example China. That was going to be a disaster for the world, and I was able to settle it very quickly, very easily, because I was able to use tariffs. It's total national security, and economic health is also a part of national security, by the way."
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick predicted that President Donald Trump will win the Supreme Court case and that the justices will rule the tariffs legal. Lutnick made the prediction during an appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News program, wagging his finger. The Supreme Court debated the president's authority to impose global tariffs under a 1977 law that authorizes regulating imports but does not mention tariffs. President Trump has defended tariffs as legal, economically necessary, and a national security tool, citing China. Many outlets initially reported skepticism from justices, but Lutnick called those reports bogus and said the justices ultimately bought Trump's argument.
