President Donald Trump reacted Friday morning after the Supreme Court struck down his global tariffs in a 6-3 ruling.
Trump reportedly described the ruling as a “disgrace” and signaled he has a backup plan.
The court’s decisiontargeted tariffs that Trump has imposed this past year under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
The majority ruled the law “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs,” according to the majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
President Trump’s claim that a decades-old law gives him the power to unilaterally impose tariffs “falls short” of the high legal bar needed to justify the sweeping tariffs, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a 6-3 majority opinion.https://t.co/QGkf5iXBitpic.twitter.com/NFTZ1hpWdq

Associate Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch joined Roberts and the court’s three liberal justices.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
Trump addressed the ruling during a White House breakfast with governors, according to a report after the ruling was made public.
According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Trump went after the court.
