Trump Warns He Has ‘Other Ways’ to Impose Tariffs – No Matter What the Supreme Court Says

President Donald Trump suggested on Sunday that he has “other ways” to impose tariffs on foreign countries, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules in a major case examining his tariff authority.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue its decision this week on whether Trump can unilaterally levy tariffs without congressional approval. The ruling comes as his administration continues to rely heavily on tariffs as a key economic and national security tool.

During his presidency, Trump imposed sweeping duties on some of America’s largest trading partners, affecting products ranging from household appliances to lumber, electrical components, and manufactured goods. Those tariffs have reshaped global supply chains and sparked multiple trade disputes.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump appeared to acknowledge the looming Supreme Court ruling while signaling that a decision against him would not halt his trade agenda. He claimed that the United States has “other methods” available to impose tariff-like charges on foreign nations.

“While the United States has other methods of charging TARIFFS against foreign countries, many of whom have, for YEARS, TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OUR NATION, the current method of Tariffing before the United States Supreme Court is far more DIRECT, LESS CUMBERSOME, and MUCH FASTER,” Trump wrote.

He described speed and decisiveness as essential elements of national security, arguing that tariffs serve as a powerful tool against what he characterizes as unfair foreign trade practices. “SPEED, POWER, AND CERTAINTY ARE, AT ALL TIMES, IMPORTANT FACTORS IN GETTING THE JOB DONE IN A LASTING AND VICTORIOUS MANNER,” he added.

The administration has framed tariffs as a central component of its economic and geopolitical strategy, insisting they force other countries to negotiate on trade, investment, and manufacturing commitments. Critics, however, have argued that tariffs have raised consumer prices and strained relations with U.S. allies.

Economists are also watching the Supreme Court case closely. A ruling that limits Trump’s authority could reshape the balance of power between the White House and Congress on trade issues, potentially requiring lawmakers to take a more active role in future tariff decisions.

Whatever the Court decides, Trump’s comments make clear that he intends to continue pursuing aggressive trade measures — and believes he can do so even if the justices curb his preferred approach.
