After the US Supreme Court struck down 'reciprocal tariffs', President Donald Trump recently said he would impose tariffs 'in another form'.
"The hundreds of billions of dollars that our adversaries want our country to pay back to others that have disrespected the US, should be marked down, as just another reason why the US had been in such major decline,” he said on Truth Social.

After the US Supreme Court struck down ‘reciprocal tariffs’ last month terming them unlawful, President Donald Trump recently said he would move forward with imposing tariffs ‘in another form’.

"The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS! The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades. Our Supreme Court has made these Countries very happy but, as the Court pointed out, I have the absolute right to charge TARIFFS in another form, and have already started to do so," Trump said in a lengthy post on Truth Social.

"The Hundreds of Billions of Dollars that our Adversaries want our Country to pay back to others that have disrespected the U.S.A., until I came along, should be marked down, in the eyes of the Public, as just another reason why the United States had been in such major decline — But, not anymore, because we have MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and, very soon, it will be GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE," he added.
