President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States faces an economic and national security catastrophe of $3 trillion if the Supreme Court nullifies his use of an emergency powers statute to place tariffs on most nations.
“The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The ‘unwind’ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in the early hours on Tuesday. “It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a ‘drubbing.’ That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!”
