The Supreme Court on Friday overturned President Donald Trump's decision to impose a broad global tariff. Trump will face immense resistance if he tries to persuade Congress to reinstate these tariffs, given the narrow Republican majority in both houses of Congress, the significant concerns about their economic impact, the challenges of enacting them into law, and the fact that some Republican lawmakers have even publicly celebrated the president's defeat. Nebraska Republican Representative Don Bacon posted on social media that "broad tariffs are bad economic policy," demonstrating the lack of support from both parties. Therefore, persuading Congress to reinstate a broad global tariff will be a very difficult task for Trump.
