Donald Trump: 'I can do whatever I want' as tariffs to remain despite Supreme Court ruling

President Donald Trump has declared "I can do whatever I want" despite the Supreme Court ruling that his sweeping tariffs are illegal under law.

This afternoon, the majority of the Trump administration's tariffs levied on imports coming into the United States were struck down in a six-to-three ruling.

The White House had invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose these "reciprocal tariffs", however, the majority of judges determined this move exceeded his authority.

In reaction to the Court's ruling, President Trump described the decision as a "disgrace" and said he was "ashamed" at the justices who ruled against the administration.

Speaking to the press, President Trump said: "I can do anything I want, but I can't charge $1 because that's not what it says, and that's not the way it even reads, I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can't charge any money."
