Trump Officials Blast Court Decision as 'Judicial Coup'

Trump Administration Condemns Court Ruling on Tariffs as 'Judicial Coup' Washington, D.C. – A recent decision by a US appeals court to reinstate tariffs imposed by the Trump administration has sparked a firestorm of criticism from within the former president's inner circle. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff during the Trump presidency, took to social media to label the ruling a "judicial coup." This strong rhetoric underscores the deep divisions surrounding the issue. The court's decision directly impacts trade policy, a key area of focus during the Trump administration. The reinstated tariffs target specific goods, potentially affecting both American businesses and consumers. The administration's response highlights the ongoing tension between the executive and judicial branches of the US government. Adding to the controversy, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released a statement yesterday criticizing the judges' actions. She stated, "These judges failed to acknowledge that the President of the United States has core foreign affairs powers and authority given to him by Congress to protect the United States economy and national security." Leavitt's remarks echo Miller's sentiment, emphasizing the administration's view that the court overstepped its authority. The controversy surrounding this court ruling is likely to continue to fuel the ongoing political debate about the appropriate balance of power between different branches of the US government. The strong reactions from Trump administration officials highlight the significance of this trade policy decision and its potential impact on future legal challenges.
