‘Swayed By Foreign Interests': Trump Slams SCOTUS; Attacks US Firms, Attorneys With India Ties

President Donald Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court of the United States after it struck down his “liberation day” tariffs in a 6-3 ruling, accusing the justices of being “unpatriotic” and influenced by foreign interests. The case involved Learning Resources, a small business importing STEM kits and educational toys from India, represented by Indian-American attorneys Neal Katyal and Pratik Shah. The court found that Trump had exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), underscoring Congress’s role in trade. Katyal said the case highlighted separation of powers, not politics. The ruling is a major legal and political blow to Trump, reinforcing the independence of the judiciary and constitutional limits on executive power.
