February 20, 2026, 6:31 PM
Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed his country-specific reciprocal tariffs unlawful, President Donald Trump stated that he possesses "much more powerful tools." He remarked, "I still have means more powerful than the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)." Trump added that he would explore alternatives to tariffs, which could potentially include imposing more taxes. He emphasized that tariffs have provided the nation with strong national security and have been used to end wars. Expressing deep disappointment with the Supreme Court's decision, he called their actions "shameful." Trump went on to accuse some justices of not trying to do the right thing, labeling the "Democrats on the court" as a "disgrace to the nation."
