Trump says SCOTUS ruling on tariffs and birthright citizenship costing country ‘trillions and trillions of dollars’
President Trump criticised Supreme Court rulings that struck down his tariff policy and his attempt to end birthright citizenship, claiming they had cost the United States “trillions and trillions of dollars”. The remarks underline his escalating public dispute with the court over decisions that limit key parts of his economic and immigration agenda.
Both decisions were reportedly decided 6–3, with two justices appointed by Trump voting against the administration in each case. The White House did not provide evidence for Trump’s trillion-dollar estimate; meanwhile, the federal government had refunded $81 billion in tariffs to importing companies following the ruling.
