Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that America will have to “unwind” trade deals it had reached with the European Union, Japan, South Korea, and others if the country’s Supreme Court rules the global tariffs illegal, and he warned that a loss in the court could cause the United States “to suffer so greatly.”
He told reporters in the Oval Office that duties gave him leverage to strike deals with major trading partners across the world that saw America levying import duties on their products without any reasonable retaliation. This arrangement, Trump said, has given the United States “a chance to be unbelievably rich again.”
While speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he would ask the Supreme Court to strike down a US appeals court ruling last week that adjudged his tariffs as illegal. Trump said he thinks his administration will prevail in the apex court. The US president indicated that America will “suffer so greatly if we don’t win that case”.
Trump calls health rumours fake newsPresident Donald Trump pushed back against speculation about his health during his first official public appearance in a week, dismissing online chatter that he had died over the Labor Day holiday weekend as nothing more than "fake news". He combined his denial of the health rumors with a major policy announcement, confirming that the headquarters of the US Space Command will relocate from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama. Addressing rumors about his health, Trump appeared unfazed. "I had not heard about that," he said when asked about social media posts claiming he had died. "I was very busy over the weekend," Trump said. "Reports about my health are fake news." |
