The President of the United States, Donald Trump, pointed out that the tariffs imposed by his government “could be higher”, but that the White House has been “very kind in this regard”. The Republican also said that he awaits the US Supreme Court’s decision on the legality of the measures and declared that he is confident in a favorable outcome. “We are still waiting for the Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs, but I believe we will win in this case. It is a very important case for our country”, he stated during a cabinet meeting this Thursday, 29th.
The Court has been analyzing the issue for almost three months, after holding an accelerated hearing at the request of the government, which claimed urgency because it is a central pillar of Trump’s economic agenda. Despite the quick initial rite, the trial continues without a set date for conclusion, within a period that, according to experts, is close to the institution’s historical standard and may reflect internal differences or the preparation of dissenting votes.
While the Supreme Court deliberates, Trump maintains his speech in defense of the tariffs and once again suggests that he could expand the scope of the measures, reinforcing the political pressure surrounding the trial. The case involves sensitive issues of separation of powers and may establish limits on the Executive’s authority to impose tariffs unilaterally.

During the cabinet meeting, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that around one million people have already signed up for the “Trump Accounts”, a government project aimed at creating individual accounts with tax incentives for American families. According to Bessent, the initiative seeks to bring the financial market closer to the real economy.
Bessent also assessed that 2026 will be a year of “supply-driven” growth in the US and said that key inflation indicators “show a downward trend”, in line with the White House narrative that current economic policy creates room for expansion without significant inflationary pressures.
