About this listen
In this Badlands Media Special Coverage, President Trump delivers a forceful response to the Supreme Court’s decision limiting the use of IEEPA tariffs. Calling the ruling “deeply disappointing,” he criticizes certain justices while praising the dissents of Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh.
Trump argues that the decision does not eliminate tariffs, but instead clarifies and strengthens alternative authorities under existing statutes, including Sections 232, 301, and 122. He announces an immediate 10 percent global tariff under Section 122, maintains existing national security and Section 301 tariffs, and signals additional investigations to address unfair trade practices.
Throughout the press conference, he ties tariffs to economic growth, record stock market performance, reduced fentanyl trafficking, revived domestic manufacturing, and international negotiations, including India and Pakistan. Emphasizing “certainty” and expanded presidential authority, Trump frames the ruling not as a setback, but as an opportunity to implement even stronger trade measures going forward.
