President Donald Trump of the United States has cautioned that a potential Supreme Court ruling that restricts his ability to impose tariffs could jeopardize national security, as the nation awaits a decision regarding the legality of his tariff policies.
Trump shared this caution in a post on his Truth Social media account on Monday.
This warning aligns with the Supreme Court's current examination of challenges to Trump's extensive implementation of tariffs, a process that began in early November.
“A negative decision on tariffs by the U.S. Supreme Court would pose the greatest threat in history to United States national security,” Trump stated.
“We would find ourselves financially vulnerable. Meanwhile, Europe is imposing tariffs on China, just as they already do with others.”
The U.S. leader further asserted, “We would not be permitted to take action that others are already taking!” referencing a photograph he posted of French President Emmanuel Macron during a recent trip to China.
It is worth noting that Macron had recently cautioned China that the European Union might implement tariffs “in the coming months” if the East Asian nation does not address its trade surplus with Europe.
