"Taking to Truth Social in an overnight double post on Tuesday morning, the president warned that a negative ruling on his tariff powers would leave the U.S. financially defenseless: The biggest threat in history to United States National Security would be a negative decision on Tariffs by the U.S. Supreme Court. We would be financially defenseless. Now Europe is going to Tariffs against China, as they already do against others. We would not be allowed to do what others already do!

"The Supreme Court heard arguments in November on a challenge to Trump's ability to impose tariffs without congressional approval under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Lower courts have repeatedly ruled that the administration overstepped, and the justices, who fast-tracked the case, appear divided. Two conservative Trump appointees, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, signaled deep reservations with a ruling expected in the coming weeks."
President Donald Trump escalated pressure on the Supreme Court by warning that a ruling against his broad tariff authority would imperil U.S. national security and leave the country financially defenseless. He posted that tariffs, easily and quickly applied, have enhanced national security and made the United States the world's financially strongest country. The Supreme Court heard a November challenge over use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs without congressional approval. Lower courts found overreach, justices appear divided, and two conservative appointees signaled reservations. A decision could redraw presidential power over global trade and prompt international repercussions.
