US President Donald Trump is making a statement after the Supreme Court in the US overturned the tariffs. Here are the details of Trump’s statement: Donald Trump: “Foreign countries that exploit the United States are celebrating right now.” Foreign countries are dancing in the streets, but this won’t last long.
