"He's now gotten the Panama Canal back from tariffs, he's brought Greenland back into our orbit, and he's gotten NATO funding boosted from tariffs, said Watters. Not to mention the fact that wars have been settled because of tariffs. In response to Watters' comments, Fred Wellman, a Democratic candidate for Congress in Missouri, posted on X, writing, None of this is true. This isn't how tariffs work."
"The Supreme Court comes in and says, Listen, you can't use this authority, you have to use this authority,' so you have to do an investigation first. That's like telling a landscaper, You can't use a leaf blower, you have to use a rake.' He went on to lament that Trump doesn't have the same powers as Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping he dumps, and he tariffs. He's got a sword and a shield, said Watters."
A 6-3 Supreme Court decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts struck down President Trump's sweeping emergency tariffs. Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett joined three liberal justices to rule the tariffs illegal. CNN described the ruling as arguably the most important loss the second Trump administration has sustained at the conservative Supreme Court. Jesse Watters claimed on Fox that tariffs had returned the Panama Canal to U.S. control, pulled Greenland into U.S. orbit, and boosted NATO funding. Fred Wellman posted that Watters' claims were false and that tariffs do not work that way. Watters compared the Court's investigatory requirement to telling a landscaper to use a rake rather than a leaf blower and contrasted U.S. presidential constraints with Xi Jinping's unilateral use of tariffs.
