US President Donald Trump has attacked Supreme Court justices who struck down his tariffs, calling them “afraid of doing the right thing” and suggesting they were motivated by foreign interests. The 6-3 decision saw two justices appointed by Trump rule against him. Trump announced a new 10% global tariff and vowed to maintain existing tariffs despite the ruling. He dismissed the need for congressional approval for new tariffs, citing prior approval. Trump singled out the justices, including Barrett and Gorsuch, in deeply personal terms, claiming they hated the country and were influenced by foreign powers.
