Investing.com—U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn his tariff policy during a speech at the White House on Friday, calling the decision “deeply disappointing.”

Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on foreign countries was unconstitutional.

Trump said he was “absolutely ashamed” of the justices who voted against him in this case.

The president claimed that after the court’s decision, “foreign countries were overjoyed, so happy they danced in the streets,” but he added, “These countries won’t be happy for long.”

Trump stated he plans to pursue alternative measures, saying, “I have stronger options available,” and that he will “use other alternatives regarding tariffs.”

He hinted that these alternatives could generate more revenue, stating, “Maybe we will collect more funds.”

Trump also mentioned broader executive powers, saying, “I have the authority to cut off all trade with a country,” and “I have the authority to impose embargoes.”
