Conservative analyst Ben Shapiro argued on Wednesday night that the Supreme Court is putting President Donald Trump "in an awkward position" over his key economic policy. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday in a case challenging Trump's authority to impose sweeping tariffs under his emergency powers.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said he will consider alternatives if the Supreme Court rules against his administration over the legality of sweeping tariffs.

Chief Justice John Roberts noted that while tariffs are tied to foreign affairs, “the vehicle is imposition of taxes on Americans,” a role that has “always been the core power of Congress.”
