Below is a summary of the top news headlines related to President Donald Trump’s reaction to the U.S. Court of International Trade’s ruling against his tariffs, as well as other notable stories, based on recent reports, including a Fox News article from May 30, 2025, titled “Trump tears into court’s ‘political’ tariff decision, calls on Supreme Court to act and more top headlines.”
Trump Denounces Court’s Tariff Ruling, Urges Supreme Court Action
On May 29, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel, appointed by Presidents Reagan, Obama, and Trump, declared the tariffs unlawful, stating that IEEPA does not grant the president “unbounded” tariff-making power and that the trade deficit and drug trafficking issues cited by Trump did not justify the levies. The court also struck down specific tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada aimed at curbing fentanyl, noting they failed to directly address the stated threats. The ruling, which followed lawsuits from 12 Democratic-led states and five small businesses, gave the administration 10 days to halt the tariffs, prompting markets to rally with S&P 500 futures up 1.4%.
Trump responded on Truth Social on May 30, 2025, calling the decision “so wrong, and so political,” questioning the judges’ motives and suggesting they were driven by “hatred of TRUMP.” He urged the Supreme Court to reverse the ruling “QUICKLY and DECISIVELY,” arguing that the president must have authority to protect the U.S. from economic harm. He also criticized the Federalist Society and its co-founder Leonard Leo for recommending judges he deemed insufficiently loyal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted a temporary stay on May 30, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect pending appeal, a move the administration hailed as a reprieve. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the initial ruling “judicial overreach” and vowed to fight it to the Supreme Court, while senior adviser Peter Navarro emphasized ongoing trade negotiations and alternative legal avenues, such as the Trade Act of 1974, which allows limited tariffs of up to 15% for 150 days.
Legal experts are divided on the outcome. Some, like Ilya Somin, are optimistic the ruling will hold, citing its bipartisan judicial support, while others, like Terry Haines, believe courts may defer to Trump’s executive authority. The case could reshape presidential trade powers, with analysts noting the Supreme Court’s conservative majority may hesitate to grant Trump unchecked tariff authority due to doctrines like the major questions and nondelegation principles, though political considerations could sway the outcome.
