Trump Vows to Use 'Even Stronger' Methods to Keep His Tariffs: 'I Can Destroy the Country' [View all]

President Donald Trump raged during a White House presser on Friday, addressing the Supreme Court decision striking down his emergency tariffs. Trump vowed to use “even stronger” measures to keep his tariffs in place, riffing at one point that he has so many alternatives at his disposal he can even “destroy” countries.

Trump began his remarks by ripping into the court and Democrats, while declaring, “Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.”

He later wildly accused the justices on the court of being under foreign influence and added, “They don’t want to do the right thing. They’re afraid of it. This was an important case to me.

“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,” he continued, arguing that he will be able to keep his tariffs in place using other methods.
