U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday condemned the Supreme Court for invalidating his use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on Canada and other countries, calling the ruling ‘ridiculous’ and the justices who dissented ‘a disgrace.’ Trump defended his tariff strategy, which he claimed was aimed at curbing trade waste and advancing his diplomatic goals.

In a statement at the White House, Trump said he would explore ‘other alternatives’ to achieve his economic objectives and announced plans to propose a 10 percent global tariff under a different legal framework. He expressed frustration with the court’s decision, which he claimed was influenced by ‘overseas interests’ and a ‘mini movement’ of judges he said were not loyal to the Constitution.

‘I’m ashamed of certain members of the court for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,’ Trump said. He praised Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh for their ‘patriotism’ and criticized the court’s ‘political correctness,’ a term he has used frequently in recent months.

Trump also accused the court of being swayed by ‘foreign interests’ and ‘RINOs’—a derogatory term for Republicans who are seen as moderate or not aligned with his policies. He claimed that the court had become ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘disloyal’ to the Constitution, and he suggested that the justices were ‘afraid’ of taking the ‘right’ actions.

Despite the court’s ruling, Trump highlighted the success of his tariff policies, citing a surge in the Dow and S&P 500 indices. He argued that his approach had helped reduce the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. and contributed to resolving several international conflicts, including tensions between India and Pakistan.

‘They said you would never be able to do it in four years,’ Trump said, referring to economic predictions made by Nobel Prize winners in economics. ‘Well, we did it in one year.’

He also emphasized that the tariffs he imposed would remain in place, despite the court’s decision. ‘They each remain,’ he said. ‘We’re still getting them, and we will after the decision.’

Trump reiterated that he would now pursue alternative measures to achieve his trade goals, asserting that the U.S. would continue to benefit financially from these policies. ‘We’re taking in hundreds of billions of dollars,’ he said. ‘We’ll continue to do so.’

In a pointed remark, Trump noted that the court had ruled he could not even challenge a single dollar in trade disputes. ‘I would have used one penny, but we don’t make pennies anymore,’ he said, highlighting the perceived limitations of the court’s decision.
