Vance Slams ‘Lawlessness’ of Supreme Court Tariffs Ruling

Vice President JD Vance criticized the Supreme Court for its “lawlessness” after it issued a 6-3 ruling striking down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

In a post on X, Vance pointed out that the “only effect” from the Supreme Court’s ruling would be “to make it harder for the president to protect American industries and supply chain resiliency.”

“Today, the Supreme Court decided that Congress, despite giving the president the ability to ‘regulate imports’, didn’t actually mean it,” Vance wrote. “This is lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple.”

Vance added that Trump “has a wide range of other tariff powers and he will use them to defend American workers and advance this administration’s trade priorities.”
