“The reality is that his tariff policy has been placing the greatest strain on domestic consumers rather than achieving its intended external impact.
“Despite the bold rhetoric, the tariffs have not delivered the outcomes that were promised, and at some point someone needs to acknowledge that.
“It’s a classic case of the emperor having no clothes: who will be the first to say enough is enough?”
Trump said he was “absolutely ashamed” of justices who voted to strike down his tariffs and called the ruling “deeply disappointing”.
“Their decision is incorrect,” he said. “But it doesn’t matter because we have very powerful alternatives.”
Mr Narula added: “Many Americans genuinely believed the tariffs would lower prices and strengthen the domestic economy, but that simply hasn’t happened.
