President Trump Lashes Out Following Supreme Court Tariff Ruling

Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 6:31 AM

President Trump harshly criticized Supreme Court justices after they rejected his use of emergency powers for implementing international trade tariffs. The legal challenge stems from an executive order signed on his first day in office that would have allowed sweeping tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners.

President Trump delivered sharp criticism against Supreme Court justices following their decision to block his authority to use emergency powers for imposing international trade tariffs.

The legal dispute originated from an executive order the president issued on his first day back in office, which would have granted him broad authority to establish tariffs against almost all nations that trade with the United States.

The Supreme Court’s ruling represents a significant legal setback for the administration’s trade policy agenda, which had sought to leverage emergency declarations to bypass traditional legislative processes for tariff implementation.
