"HUFFINGTON POST SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SV DATE: Yesterday, in the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts said that tariffs are taxes and that they're paid by Americans. He said this pretty clearly, and yet you're saying that this money is rolling in from other countries. How do you square those two? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, it is. It's coming in because they've charged us. You know, the same countries that you talk about are charging us massive amounts of money."
"PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, it is. It's coming in because they've charged us. You know, the same countries that you talk about are charging us massive amounts of money. If you look at the tariffs over the years that were put On our heads. We there's a reason we're $38 trillion owed. Now that money is going to start coming down. But we had presidents that didn't know how to use tariffs. We had presidents who had no understanding of business."
Chief Justice John Roberts stated that tariffs are taxes paid by Americans. The Supreme Court heard a challenge to the president's authority to impose sweeping tariffs under emergency powers. Solicitor General John Sauer encountered skeptical questioning from justices, including conservative appointees. President Trump admitted that Americans bear tariff costs while arguing that tariffs generate revenue from foreign governments and can reduce national debt. Trump claimed tariffs prevent military conflicts, criticized past presidents for misusing tariff policy, and said nations like China and the European Union imposed barriers that harmed U.S. exports.
