Trump: Supreme Court tariff, birthright citizenship rulings costing country 'trillions and trillions of dollars'
✓Skip to content
President Trump on Wednesday claimed the Supreme Court striking down his emergency tariffs and executive order restricting birthright citizenship cost the country “trillions and trillions” of dollars.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Does anybody have any idea how much Money and Prestige the United States Supreme Court has cost our Nation with their negative Rulings on Birthright Citizenship and TARIFFS? The answer, TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!”
The high court overturned the president’s emergency tariffs and order on birthright citizenship during its latest term, overruling two key tenets of his economic and immigration agendas.
In February, the justices ruled that Trump did not have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to unilaterally impose tariffs on trading partners.
The ruling required the Trump administration to provide restitution to firms that paid higher prices for imported goods, while the president has leaned on different statutes to impose other levies. As of June 29, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had issued roughly $104.29 billion in refunds, according to a court filing.
Last month, the justice also invalidated Trump’s order requiring a baby born on U.S. soil to have at least one parent with citizenship or permanent legal status to gain birthright citizenship.
Members of the court’s conservative majority sided against the administration each time, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett the lone Trump appointee in the majority of both cases.
While Trump said earlier this month he would ask the court to rehear the birthright citizenship case, the deadline for the Justice Department to petition for a rehearing passed earlier this week. Multiple GOP lawmakers, meanwhile, have introduced legislation to codify the order.
The president has argued that the Supreme Court’s ruling will benefit U.S. adversaries, notably Russia and China.
But researchers from Princeton University, Cornell University and Notre Dame University estimated earlier this year that beneficiaries of birthright citizenship contributed $7.7 trillion to the American economy through income from 1975 to 2024.
