Trump said his administration plans to issue a $2,000 payment to low- and middle-income residents using tariff dividends, while he would use the remaining revenue to reduce U.S. debt.
The president also praised what he called a decline in inflation since he took office, saying food and energy prices were falling.
US President Donald Trump stated on November 6 that he would have to “prepare a plan B” in case the Supreme Court overturns a significant part of the tariffs it has implemented.
A day earlier, a majority of Supreme Court justices questioned the state’s lawyers at length during a hearing on the tariff policy that Trump has used since the beginning of his second term.
Based on the questions from the nine judges, specialists are leaning towards a ruling contrary to Trump’s policy, although the scope of the ruling is not clear.
If the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority, decides to totally or partially invalidate customs duties, the government fears having to refund the sums collected and losing a tool of pressure on the rest of the world.
