Summary:
President Trump acknowledges the potential invalidation of his administration’s tariffs by the Supreme Court. He states he has a “game two plan” to continue pursuing his tariff agenda. While the legal basis for his tariffs might shift, the impact on trade partners is expected to be minimal. The article outlines several alternative laws Trump could use to impose tariffs, including Section 122 (addressing trade deficits), Section 232 (national security), and Section 301 (unfair trade practices). A fourth, unused option is highlighted which allows for tariffs on countries that discriminate against the United States.

Trump Prepares “Game Two” as Tariff Powers Face Supreme Court Challenge
Washington – President Donald Trump stated Thursday that a Supreme Court ruling against his administration’s tariff authority would be “devastating,” but insisted he has a contingency plan to maintain his trade policies. The statement comes after Wednesday’s Supreme Court hearing where justices on both sides of the aisle voiced concerns about the legality of Trump’s expansive use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs.
If the Supreme Court invalidates his current strategy, Trump said, “we’ll have to develop a game two plan.” Experts believe that this “game two” is likely to involve invoking other existing laws that grant the president tariff-imposing powers.
Goldman Sachs economists anticipate minimal change for major trading partners, noting that the administration could easily pivot to other legal mechanisms. The article outlines several alternative laws Trump could use to impose tariffs, including Section 122 (addressing trade deficits), Section 232 (national security), and Section 301 (unfair trade practices). A fourth, unused option is highlighted which allows for tariffs on countries that discriminate against the United States.
While the legal foundation may shift, the overall direction of Trump’s trade agenda appears unlikely to change. The tariffs imposed under the IEEPA have so far generated nearly $90 billion from American importers.
