Former President Donald Trump has cautioned that the United States could face an ‘economic disaster’ should the Supreme Court rule against his administration’s use of tariffs. In remarks reported by Reuters, Trump emphasized that such a decision would undermine efforts to protect American industries and reshape trade policy. He argued that tariffs have been instrumental in strengthening domestic manufacturing and pressuring other nations to renegotiate trade terms favorable to the U.S. economy. Trump maintained that removing this leverage could expose key sectors to foreign competition and weaken national economic resilience. The potential legal challenge centers on the constitutional authority for imposing broad tariffs without congressional approval, a move critics say overreaches executive power. Trump dismissed these concerns, framing the issue as essential to restoring economic sovereignty.
