President Donald Trump in an interview on Sunday said that if the Supreme Court rules that his tariffs are unconstitutional, the U.S. will struggle economically for years.
Trump appeared on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" and said Gaza could be rebuilt as a "freedom place" that would be "paid for by the wealth of the wealthiest countries," but warned that the Supreme Court striking down his tariffs could hurt the U.S. economy over the long term.
"If we win the tariff case, which hopefully we will, it's vital to the interests of our country. We're the wealthiest country there is. If we don't, we'll be struggling for years to come," Trump said.
The president said that his threat of imposing 200% tariffs helped stop a war between India and Pakistan, and also said that tariffs are the main reason companies are investing in facilities in the U.S. to make pharmaceuticals, chips and other products domestically.
