(Seoul=Yonhap Infomax) Ji Yeon Kim – Former US President Donald Trump stated that US tariff revenues are poised to surge, expressing anticipation for a Supreme Court decision on tariff-related matters.


On the 24th (local time), Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, "Although the United States is already generating hundreds of billions of dollars in substantial revenue from tariffs, the total income from tariffs has not been fully calculated."


He argued, "Buyers of goods and products from various countries have sought to avoid tariffs in the short term by stockpiling more inventory than necessary," adding, "However, these large inventories are now gradually being depleted, and soon, tariffs will be imposed on all applicable items without avoidance."


Trump emphasized, "As a result, even though US tariff revenues have already reached record highs, they will surge even further," and added, "This will achieve unprecedented levels and lead the United States down a path never seen before."


He further stated, "The United States is already the greatest country in the world, but this tariff power will bring national security and wealth to levels never seen before."


Trump criticized, "Those who oppose us represent the interests of hostile foreign powers, regardless of America's success, safety, or prosperity," and added, "They have no interest in America."


He concluded, "I am eagerly awaiting the US Supreme Court's decision on this urgent and sensitive matter, and I hope that through this decision, we can continue to make America great again."


The Supreme Court is currently reviewing whether the reciprocal tariffs imposed globally by President Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unlawful.


However, during the first oral arguments held on the 5th, the conservative-leaning Supreme Court justices generally expressed skepticism toward Trump's reciprocal tariff policy.


The Trump administration is reportedly preparing alternative tariff measures in case of an unfavorable ruling.
