In a critical address, US Senator Chuck Schumer labeled President Donald Trump's tariffs as 'illegal' following a decisive Supreme Court ruling. The court determined that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing the tariffs, sparking calls for the funds to be returned.
Schumer voiced his disapproval of Trump's reaction to the court decision, criticizing his demeanor and insistence on pursuing an alternative tariff plan. According to Schumer, these measures are detrimental, affecting jobs and contributing to inflation.
The Supreme Court's decision, ruling 6-3, marks a significant legal challenge to Trump's trade strategies, emphasizing that Congress holds the power to impose tariffs. Lawmakers are now faced with reconciling trade policy, executive authority, and fiscal outcomes.
