Welcome back.
I'm Tiffany Meyer.
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump's use of tariffs, how are
everyday Americans reacting to the decision?
NTD's Sam Wong was out on the National Mall in D.C. to hear from the people.
What's your reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs this morning?
Well, I think, I didn't think about much about tariffs until President Trump came on board.
I hope that they get it sorted out to the advantage of our country.
I was disappointed.
I was disappointed that it was 6-3.
I'd like to see the tariffs stay in place just so we can have leverage on some countries
that aren't really playing fair.
That'll just be tied up in court cases for the next three years.
The Democrats hoping, you know, they get elected and undo everything that he's trying to do
to straighten out this country.
I'm sure there's other avenues that he can get this back on our side, but we'll just
have to wait and see.
I know there's a lot of things that we probably don't know is going on behind closed doors.
Do you think this is an economic, national security matter?
Absolutely, it is.
In the long run.
Everything that I purchase these days, I try to see where it was manufactured, and it's
almost impossible to purchase anything on Amazon, for example, that has not been made
in China.
The more we can make here in the United States, the better our country will be for it.
Well, I mean, there's a lot of issues because things are, I mean, every time I buy something
Chinese, I think I need to wash the blood of, you know, a child off of it.
You know, their labor there is different.
You know, they don't have the same sort of labor laws that we have.
And, you know, I believe there's a lot of abuses there.
Fifty years ago in the 70s, when all this started, people said it wasn't going to work
out to the benefit of the American people.
When they started on what?
When they started manufacturing everything in China and all these overseas countries.
I think over the last years, we've lost jobs, and he just wants to bring them back.
I think Detroit maybe being an example of that.
They're not building the cars in Detroit like they used to.
Let's bring jobs back to Detroit.
Let's bring them back to the big cities and get people back to work.
