President Donald Trump warned it would be “devastating for our country” if the Supreme Court strikes down his most sweeping tariffs, a defeat that seemed more likely after justices across the ideological spectrum questioned their legality. Trump said he has a “game two plan,” and Goldman Sachs economists expect similar levies to continue under different authorities. His administration has leaned on IEEPA to levy duties—up to 145% on China and 50% on India and Brazil—bringing nearly $90 billion from importers, and options include Sections 122, 232, 301, and 338.
