"More is a symbol of economic national security. And also, I would say, just for our country itself, so important because we're doing so well as a country. We've never done so well. The good news is that there are methods, practices, statutes and authorities, as recognized by the entire court in this terrible decision, and also as recognized by Congress, which they refer to, that are even stronger than the IEEPA tariffs available to me as President of the United States,"
"We have alternatives. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We'll take in more money and we'll be a lot stronger for it. We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We'll continue to do so. To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, however, the court said that I'm not allowed to charge even one dollar. I can't charge one dollar! Trump fumed, adding: Can't charge a dollar. I would have used one penny, but we don't make the pennies anymore. We save money."
President Donald Trump reacted angrily to the Supreme Court decision striking down his emergency tariffs and vowed stronger measures to maintain trade protections. He announced intent to sign an order imposing a 10% global tariff under Section 122 on top of existing tariffs. He accused the justices of foreign influence and framed the dispute as a matter of economic national security. He asserted that statutes and authorities exist that are stronger than IEEPA and said he has alternatives to keep tariffs in place, including measures expected to raise hundreds of billions of dollars. He criticized the court for barring even a one-dollar charge under IEEPA.
