Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended President Trump’s trade strategy after the U.S. Supreme Court limited the use of emergency tariff powers. Bessent insisted the Court did not rule against tariffs themselves — only that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) couldn’t be used to raise revenue. He vowed the administration will immediately shift to other legal authorities — including Sections 232, 301 and 122 — to keep tariffs strong and protect U.S. national security and economic interests.
