    He made that announcement after lashing out at the Supreme Court for striking down much of his sweeping tariff infrastructure as an illegal use of emergency power. Trump said he was “absolutely ashamed” of justices who voted to strike down his tariffs and called the ruling “deeply disappointing.”

    “Their decision is incorrect,” he said. “But it doesn’t matter because we have very powerful alternatives.”
