While President Donald Trump may not have a legal background, he has experience as a businessman, a showman, and now, a politician. Despite this, he is familiar with legal matters and comprehends the significance of court decisions affecting his administration, especially the recent important ruling made by the Supreme Court regarding universal injunctions.
During an extensive interview with “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo, the president discussed a range of subjects including foreign affairs, the recent military actions in Iran, and the One Big Beautiful Bill. However, it was Trump’s remarks about the Supreme Court ruling from Friday and the ongoing legal battles concerning tariffs that stood out.
Part 1 of the interview may be viewed in full below, but here’s the excerpt I wanted to focus on:
In response to the Supreme Court ruling, President Trump expressed his concerns about the impact of restraining tariffs, highlighting the potential consequences for the country if such actions were prohibited. He emphasized the risks of the United States being vulnerable to tariffs imposed by other nations, painting a vivid picture of the nation’s economic vulnerability in such a scenario.
