He emphasized that Trump's tariff program has led to job and wage growth, despite current inflation rates. Miller noted that the court's decision affirmed the president's authority to impose tariffs under certain statutes, suggesting that Trump could find alternative ways to reinstate tariffs. He expressed optimism about expanding the tariff program despite the ruling, while also facing backlash on social media for his comments. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller decried the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the “emergency” tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, claiming they restored U.S. manufacturing. He also warned that there are other ways for Trump to reinstate them. “President Trump got elected in large part to bring back our supply chains, reshore our manufacturing base, bring back our jobs from overseas,” Miller told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Friday. “Over the last year, his historic program of tariffs has done exactly that.” **Politics: Trump Heaps Praise On His 'New Hero' The Morning After Tirade Against Supreme Court** “That’s why we’ve seen record job growth, record wage growth and record reshoring of vital manufacturing jobs ... President Trump has brought inflation down to 1.4%, an ideal benchmark rate according to economists,” Miller added. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier this month that inflation is currently at 2.4%. The Supreme Court upheld an essential separation of powers Friday with its historic 6-3 decision, which ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the president to impose tariffs. Miller cited U.S. Justice Clarence Thomas and his dissent from the majority opinion, stating that it “so brilliantly and eloquently” argued that Congress has “consistently delegated” commerce decisions to the president, including “the power to impose duties on imports.” “Under the Emergency Economic Powers Act, the president has the authority to regulate foreign trade, and going back to the founding of the country, the term ‘regulate’ has always meant and included the power to levy duties,” Miller continued. *Like this article?

Miller confirmed to Ingraham that the administration isn’t giving up. **Politics: U.S. Olympic Skier Hunter Hess Flashes A Sign Just For Donald Trump At End Of His Race** “But here’s the good news, Laura,” he said Friday. “As cowardly, as horrendous as the Supreme Court ruling was, as poorly as it reflects on John Roberts’ court, and the continued torturing of our statutes and our constitution, here is the good news.” Miller continued, “The court also affirmed the president has the authority under Section 301, Section 232, Section 122, Section 338 ... that the president can levy tariffs on foreign nations. So his program will not only be fully reconstituted, but it’ll be expanded.” Inu Manak, a senior fellow for international trade at the Council on Foreign Relations, suggested in an article on Friday that the aforementioned statutes might indeed help Trump forge ahead. Social media users certainly forged ahead with their ire over Miller’s Fox appearance. ### Related... - Wall Street Journal Slams Trump’s Tariff Tantrum Against SCOTUS: ‘Worst Moment Of His Presidency’ - Trump Throws Another Tariffs Tantrum After ‘Anti-American’ Supreme Court Decision - Legal Analyst Shares 1 Warning About Trump's Tariffs After Supreme Court Defeat **Read the original on HuffPost** ### Related Stocks - [NDAQ.US - Nasdaq](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NDAQ.US.md) - [.DJI.US - Dow Jones Industrial Average](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.DJI.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 特朗普暗示违法征收的关税不退了，美财长称今年关税收入将 “基本保持不变” | 美国总统特朗普暗示不会退还被最高法院裁定违法的关税，预计 2026 年关税收入将保持不变。特朗普计划签署行政令，对全球商品加征 10% 进口关税，取代被推翻的关税。财长贝森特表示，政府将利用替代法律权力维持关税收入，强调国家安全和财政收入不 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276494362.md) | | 高院否决、特朗普再加！美国关税税率现在变成什么样了？ | 特朗普转用新法对全球加征 10% 关税，令美国与欧盟、日本、韩国等主要贸易伙伴达成的 “投资换关税” 协议有效性受到严重质疑。旧法源被推翻叠加新关税出炉，导致欧盟能源采购及日韩千亿级投资等承诺面临巨大执行不确定性，各国的实际贸易压力或许并未 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276508727.md) | | 高院否决，特朗普将被迫退税！华尔街 “早就下注”，商务部长儿子甚至一度参与 | 去年 10 月投资机构以每美元 20-40 美分的折扣价从进口商手中购入关税退款索赔权，单笔交易规模多在 200 万至 2000 万美元。投资者有望获得超 8 倍回报。但退款前景仍存不确定性，涉及金额达数十亿美元，各方仍在观望。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276502404.md) | | “10-15 天” 最后通牒？特朗普：美伊必须达成有意义协议，否则发生 “糟糕的事” | 周四特朗普称，预计未来十天左右知道能否与伊朗达成协议；内塔尼亚胡警告伊朗，以色列 “为任何情况做好准备”，强调以方正与美国 “并肩作战” 应对伊方威胁。国际原子能机构总干事称，美国在中东军事集结意味着，伊朗的外交窗口正在关闭。周三消息称，美 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276394487.md) | | 美高院推翻 “对等关税”，接下来会发生什么？ | 美国最高法院裁定特朗普政府依据《国际紧急经济权力法案》加征关税违法，市场关注后续影响。特朗普将签署行政令实施 10% 全球统一关税。虽然 IEEPA 的法律基础被推翻，但 232、301 和 201 条款的关税不受影响。汇丰和瑞银分析认为， | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276508668.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
