Trump Hardens Stance Post SC Setback: Announces Harsher Tariffs in Warning

Washington, February 23, 2026
President Trump lashed out at Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling blocking his IEEPA-based sweeping tariffs as “foolish,” vowing to hike them to 15% and warning exploiting nations face even steeper duties.​

Court Ruling Recap

Feb 20 decision: Trump can’t unilaterally impose broad tariffs via emergency powers, overriding Congress. Roberts: No explicit authorization. Dissenters (Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh) sided with Trump.​

Trump’s Response

Truth Social: Ruling “strengthened” his powers ironically. New EO: 15% global tariffs (up from SC-capped 10%) fully legal. Eyes “licensing system” for trade leverage despite fee limits.​

Birthright Citizenship Jab

Blasted 14th Amendment as for “freed slaves’ kids,” not “anchor babies” from China/elsewhere abusing it.

What’s Next

MAGA push: Legal tariff ramps ahead; billions in prior collections/refunds in limbo. Global trade uncertainty rises.​
