Trump Asserts Full Presidential Authority Over Tariff Policies
On February 23, former US President Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to reiterate his stance on tariffs. He emphasized that any nation attempting to challenge Supreme Court rulings or harm US interests would face significantly tougher tariff measures.
In his statement, Trump pointed out that as president, he holds complete authority over tariff decisions and does not require Congressional approval. This position underscores his reliance on unilateral executive action.
- Trump reaffirms the president’s unchecked authority on tariffs
- Warns of higher tariffs on nations harming US interests
- Reiterates no need for Congressional backing before action
This declaration reignites discussions over the scope of executive power and could have long-term implications for international trade policy.
