President Donald Trump on Friday speaking at the White House after the Supreme Court struck down his signature tariff policy.

Trump will lead a press briefing at the White House on the seismic ruling, according to his press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

The briefing was announced two hours after the high court ruled, six to three, that the statute used to justify Trump’s biggest tariffs does not actually authorize those import duties.

The ruling is a significant loss for the president, whose economic agenda and foreign policy leaned heavily on his asserted power to unilaterally slap tariffs on any country without Congress.
