"Even if" SCOTUS finds Trump's tariffs "unconstitutional," he has plans to add new tariffs to "start the next day" [View all]

Trump has a plan for an instant strike back if the Supreme Court rules against his tariffs, according to a report Monday.

In an interview with The New York Times, the United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer — Trump's top trade negotiator — revealed that the president intends to impose tariffs no matter what. And even if the high court's ruling does not favor his current trade policies, he has readied actions to put levies in place to replace them "almost immediately."

Even if the Supreme Court rules his tariffs unconstitutional in its ruling, which could come as soon as Tuesday, Trump has plans to add new tariffs to “start the next day” and “to respond to the problems the president has identified," Greer told The Times.
