US President Donald Trump has sharply criticised the US Supreme Court following its decision to block his sweeping global tariff policy, claiming the ruling unjustly limits his presidential authority.
The court, in a 6–3 decision, ruled that Trump overstepped his constitutional powers by imposing broad tariffs on multiple countries, effectively dismantling one of the most aggressive trade measures of his administration.

Trump claims power to cripple economies
Speaking at a press conference after the ruling, Trump insisted he still holds immense power over international trade and foreign nations.
“I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country. I’m allowed to impose a foreign-destroying embargo. I can embargo. I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge one dollar.”
The remarks sparked immediate backlash, with critics describing them as reckless and inflammatory, while supporters argued he was highlighting inconsistencies in the court’s decision.

Justices dranded a ‘disgrace’
Trump later took to Truth Social to praise the three justices who ruled in his favour and condemn the remaining six, including two he appointed himself.
“They are a disgrace to our nation,” he wrote, accusing the court of being influenced by political enemies and foreign interests. He further described the justices as “obnoxious, ignorant, and loud”.
In a mocking tone, Trump added, “I wanted to be a good boy. I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court.”

Economic fallout and political pushback
The ruling has created a major financial challenge for the federal government, which must now determine how to refund an estimated $184 billion collected through the invalidated tariffs.
