Trump Tariffs Live Updates: Trump Says Supreme Court Has Been Swayed By Foreign Interests

US President Donald Trump issued a sharp warning to his critics following the Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs, suggesting celebrations by his opponents would be short-lived.

Speaking about the reaction to the court’s decision, Trump said, “They’re dancing on streets but they won’t be dancing for long I assure you. They area against ything that make America strong healthy and great again. Congress.”

The president accused political opponents of undermining policies he says are aimed at strengthening the country’s economy and protecting American workers. He also indicated that Congress would have a role to play in determining the next steps after the ruling.

The remarks come amid heightened political debate in Washington over trade policy and the broader implications of the Supreme Court’s decision.

US President Donald Trump on Friday sharply criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling on his tariff policy, calling the decision “deeply disappointing” and expressing strong disapproval of certain justices.

Speaking at a press briefing, Trump said, “The SC ruling on Tariff is deeply disappointing. I am ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not doing what’s right for the country.”

US Senator Elizabeth Warren criticised the economic impact of former President Donald Trump’s tariff policies following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike them down.

In a social media post, Warren said, “The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs, but this ruling won’t undo the damage to Americans paying higher prices on everything from groceries to housing.”

She further added, “Any refunds must end up in the pockets of the Americans who were illegally cheated out of their money by Donald Trump.”

Her remarks come as lawmakers and the administration weigh the implications of the court’s ruling and potential next steps regarding tariff collections and trade policy.

US President Donald Trump will hold a press briefing at 12:45 PM Eastern Time to respond to the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on his administration’s tariff decision.

The announcement was made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in a post on social media late Thursday.

The briefing is expected to clarify the administration’s position following the court’s decision, which has sparked reactions from global trading partners and markets. Further details on how the ruling could impact existing tariff measures and future trade policy may emerge during the address.

The UK government has expressed confidence that its “privileged trading position” with the United States will remain intact, even as Washington assesses the implications of a recent Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.

Responding to the development, a UK government spokesperson said that under any scenario, Britain expects its special trade relationship with the US to continue.

“We expect our privileged trading position with the US to continue,” the spokesperson said, adding that London will engage closely with the US administration to understand how the ruling could affect tariff arrangements.

The European Union on Friday said it is examining the recent US Supreme Court ruling which found that President Donald Trump went beyond his authority in imposing wide-ranging tariffs that disrupted global trade.

“We take note of the ruling… and are analysing it carefully,” EU trade spokesman Olof Gill said.

He added that the EU is in communication with US officials to understand the next steps following the judgment. “We remain in close contact with the US Administration as we seek clarity on the steps they intend to take in response to this ruling,” Gill said.

Emphasising the broader impact, he noted that “Businesses on both sides of the Atlantic depend on stability and predictability in the trading relationship”.

After the US Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the tariffs were not authorised under the Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), US President Donald Trump responded by saying he has a “backup plan” for tariffs, according to CNN.

The remark came shortly after the court’s decision declared the trade measures unlawful under the emergency powers law.

“The United States, after all, is not at war with every nation in the world,” the US Chief Justice said while addressing the scope of executive powers in the case.

The remark came as the court examined the extent of authority claimed by the administration in imposing broad trade measures.

A dissenting judge said the ruling is unlikely to significantly limit presidential tariff powers in the future.However, the decision could lead to serious practical consequences, including large-scale refunds.Billions of dollars collected from importers may have to be returned.Such refunds could have a significant financial impact on the US Treasury.The court did not clarify whether the government must repay the money or how the process should be carried out.During oral arguments, it was acknowledged that handling refunds could become a “mess”.

US markets moved higher after the Supreme Court ruled against former President Donald Trump’s tariffs, giving investors a boost during the trading session.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 both climbed to their highest levels of the day shortly after the judgment was announced. Traders reacted positively to the decision, viewing it as a development that could ease trade-related uncertainty.

At the same time, US Treasury yields edged up as the news spread across financial markets, reflecting shifting expectations among investors.

The opinion of the court was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. He was joined by three liberal members of the bench as well as two conservative justices, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, forming the 6–3 majority.

In his written judgment, Roberts said the president had claimed sweeping authority to impose tariffs without limits on their scale, duration or reach. However, he noted that the Trump administration had failed to identify any law in which Congress clearly stated that the Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) could be used to introduce tariffs.

Roberts concluded that the emergency powers law did not grant the president the authority to impose such trade measures.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito disagreed with the majority and issued dissenting opinions.

In a major ruling on Friday, the Supreme Court of the United States held that former President Donald Trump acted beyond his legal powers when he imposed wide-ranging tariffs on multiple countries without clear approval from Congress.

The court delivered its decision by a 6–3 majority, marking a significant blow to Trump’s trade policy approach. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts stated that the president claimed “extraordinary power” to impose tariffs without limits on amount, duration or scope.

“The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, and scope,” Roberts wrote.

He further added, “In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorisation to exercise it.”
