Are judges invited to State of Union?

When asked if the six U.S. Supreme Court judges who ruled against Trump on Friday were still invited to his State of the Union address next week, he said: “They are, but barely.”

“(The other) three are happily invited but they’re barely invited … honestly I couldn’t care less if they come,” he said.

Trump says no answer on refunds

Trump says he has not received a clear answer on whether he needs to reimburse companies for taxes paid on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs.

“They take months and months to write a decision, and they don’t even discuss that point,” he said. “Wouldn’t you think they would’ve put one sentence in there (saying) keep the money or don’t keep the money?”

He said that question will be hammered out in the courts.

Trump has stronger tools available

Now that he can no longer lean on IEEPA provisions to impose this round of tariffs, Trump says he has other tools that are even stronger to carry out his trade regime.

“We have alternatives. Great alternatives.”

He has not yet offered specifics on his plans.

Trump ashamed of majority

Trump has taken the mic. He started his address by calling the ruling “deeply disappointing,” adding he is “ashamed” of certain members of the court.

He thanked and congratulated the dissenting justices, and said that the country was proud of them.

“Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic,” said Trump.

‘Some’ trade deals will stand, Trump says

Trump said that following Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision, some of the trade deals his administration has already struck with foreign countries will remain in place, but some will need to be renegotiated.

“Some of them stand; many of them stand, but some of them won’t, and they’ll be replaced,” he said.

The ‘X-factor’ in the upcoming CUSMA talks

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court on Trump’s tariffs makes clear he’s being squeezed between the judiciary and legislative branch.

The courts have neutered the president’s ability to enforce tariffs and now Congress is passing legislation to repeal his tariffs. This is checks and balances playing out in real time.

Many say Trump operates unilaterally, but we are seeing other branches step in and step up.

My latest column says more.

Tariffs 3.0?

The U.S. president indicates he’s intent on continuing to impose tariffs, meaning Americans will continue paying import duties that will only keep prices high.

This could result in the sinking of Trump’s approval ratings and deliver both the House and Senate to Democrats.

I can’t imagine any Republican lawmaker will willingly endorse these new Section 122 tariffs when on the campaign trail.

Bad timing for Trump: NYT

New York Times White House reporter David E. Sanger points out the timing of the SCOTUS decision is bad for the president, who’s heading to China in about five weeks, from March 31 to April 2.

The court’s decision could “limit his leverage with the world’s second largest economy,” says Sanger.

‘Across the board’ tariffs

President Trump says he will invoke Section 122 tariffs across the board. These new tariffs allow a maximum amount of 15% and sunset after 150 days. Beyond that he will need congressional approval to keep the tariffs in place.

He is showing signs that he’s taking the Supreme Court ruling deeply personally. He’s mentioned his electoral victory suggesting it should buttress him against SCOTUS rulings that go against his administration.

Tariff threat isn’t over for Canada: trade expert

The U.S. Supreme Court may have struck down Trump’s sweeping emergency tariff powers, but Canada’s threat is far from over.

Now the risk has shifted, says Carlo Dade, director of International Policy at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary.

He says the ruling will not end Canada’s tariff angst. Instead, Trump is likely to turn to other tariff authorities delegated by Congress.

“If he loses one tool, he’s going to look at the next best thing he has, and that’s Section 232,” which allows Trump to impose tariffs on specific products, said Dade.

“He’s not going to give up tariffs. It’s too much money coming in. It’s too good a lever.”

Poilievre pledges collaboration

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the court decision a “step in the right decision” in a post on X, pledging collaboration with the federal government during this “critical period.”

Pointing to the upcoming free trade review between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, Poilievre says he expects lumber, aluminum, steel and auto tariffs to be lifted as well – all of which were not affected by Friday’s ruling.

Criticizing Prime Minister Mark Carney for not reaching a trade deal with the U.S. by last summer, Poilievre said, “The truth is no one can control what President Trump will say or do and so we must instead focus on what we can control.”

“We must unblock our energy and minerals, unleash our economy, and bolster our military and self-reliance for leverage to fight for tariff-free trade with the U.S.”

Doug Ford responds

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the court’s decision represents “another important victory,” but he says the fight will continue.

“We need to watch how the White House reacts. We need to keep up the fight against tariffs on auto, steel, aluminum and forestry, which remain in place and continue to hurt our workers,” the premier wrote in a post on X.

“I won’t stop fighting until every last tariff against Canada is dropped so we can grow our economies and create jobs on both sides of the border.”

Ford said his government is prepared to do “whatever it takes” to protect not only the province, but the workers, families, and businesses living in Ontario.

‘Tariffs were nothing more than an illegal cash grab’: Newsom

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is demanding Trump and his administration repay Americans for the “illegal” tariffs he imposed during his presidency.

“Your tariffs were nothing more than an illegal cash grab that drove up prices, hurt working families, and wrecked longstanding global alliances,” Newsom wrote on X.

“Every dollar your administration unlawfully took needs to be immediately refunded — with interest.”

Ruling made amid ‘growing resistance’

Former foreign affairs minister Peter MacKay called the ruling a “major blow to the president,” telling CTV News Channel that it comes at a time of “growing resistance” to Trump’s punitive tariffs even within his own party.

“The cracks are starting to form” in the Republican party, MacKay said, “and I think as Canada prepares to enter into (CUSMA negotiations), this is a positive development.”However, a former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. said because of CUSMA, Canada won’t feel the impacts of the court decision as much as others.

“Actually the rest of the world gains more from this than Canada” because of CUSMA said Frank McKenna, now U.S. deputy chair of wholesale banking for TD Bank Group.

Still, McKenna said in an interview with CTV News Channel Friday, the ruling combined with a recent U.S. congressional vote signifying opposition to tariffs are strong signals to the Trump administration.

Uncertainty surrounds the decision, what’s next

Matthew Holmes, executive vice-president and chief of public policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, spoke to CTV News Channel Friday about the uncertainty surrounding the decision.

“What does this mean? What will the administration do next in the United States?” he said. Holmes said the “good news for Canada” is that most trade into the U.S. is tariff-free under CUSMA, and that continues to be in place.

He said what is significant to note about the ruling is IEEPA doesn’t make reference to tariffs, and had previously never been used to implement tariffs, and this seemed to be the focus of the court’s decision. What that means is that the impact of the ruling is isolated to use of IEEPA, and so doesn’t impact far-reaching tariffs that could be implemented in another way, if Trump was able to get buy-in from U.S. Congress.

The ruling does not mean the U.S. can’t use “a whole range” of other tools at its disposal to continue to impose tariffs, Holmes said.

Section 232, as an example, is behind the tariffs Holmes says are most impactful on the Canadian economy right now - those impacting the automotive, steel and aluminum sectors.

“It’s pretty clear from the signals so far that they have a number of other mechanisms, and the intent to continue on this tariff journey they’re on,” Holmes said.

Saskatchewan leaders call it ‘good news’

Leaders in Saskatchewan are sharing their reactions to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down several of Trump’s tariffs.

In a statement, the Government of Saskatchewan said that while the ruling is “good news,” the province is still evaluating the impact on the local economy, industries and finances.

“This ruling does not remove all the U.S. tariffs, and the U.S. administration may be evaluating other mechanisms to reimpose some or all of these tariffs,” the statement read.
