With four Supreme Court justices sitting just feet away, President Trump condemned what he called the court's unfortunate involvement in last week's tariff case when it declared that his sweeping reciprocal tariffs are illegal.
The president said that now he'll just use his remaining powers to impose import taxes, insisting that, quote, almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made.
The president also claimed that tariffs will replace income taxes and that Congress doesn't have a role to play in the tariff laws he'll now rely on.
But Trump will need lawmakers' support.
Last week, the president imposed 10 percent global tariffs under a part of the trade law he hasn't used before, known as Section 122.
Trump says he'll raise those tariffs to 15 percent, but the Section 122 duties will expire after 150 days unless Congress extends them.
Earlier this month, there were bipartisan votes against Trump's tariff policies.

An enormous amount of money has been collected by the U.S.
Treasury under these tariffs, which are now deemed illegal.
We don't know yet if that money will be refunded, and if so, how.
In the opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh notes that refunds, if it comes to that, would be an issue.
He adds that, quote, refunds of billions of dollars would have significant consequences for the U.S.
Treasury, and the process would likely be a mess.
