Trump defends tariff policy despite Supreme Court ruling

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that he maintains the tariff policy, despite the setback in the US Supreme Court, which considered the rates imposed by the American leader in April last year to be illegal, when participating in the podcast Sid & Friends in The Morningthis Tuesday (12).

“We had a tariff policy, but I manage to implement the tariffs again, just in a different way, which is not as efficient. So, I end up charging more, but it is not as efficient. We continue with the tariffs, we just need to do it in a more complex way”, he declared, classifying it as “very surprising” and “painful”.

In relation to North American domestic politics, Trump suggested the need for voter identification to guarantee that the voter is a citizen of the United States and highlighted that the Democratic Party’s refusal to do so is due to the group opposing the Republican defending “some control mechanisms in voting by mail that are totally corrupt”.

“So if you’re in the military, you can vote by mail if you’re sick, etc. We have exceptions, but we want mail voting to be eliminated if possible,” he said.

Among other topics, the US president cited “the excellent relationship” with , currently.
