If Supreme Court blocks Trump tariffs, Congress will respond: House tax chair
Jason Smith, Chairman of the Assembly’s Roads and Tools Committee, said that on Tuesday, President Donald Trump’s taxes are overthrown by the Supreme Court, but stops stopping to act from the Congress, he would answer on Tuesday.
The Republican from Missouri said that he worked with “glove hand” with Trump administration on tariffs, and he was “spoke to more than 20 different countries in the last two months.”
CNBC’s “Squawk Box” “If the courts upset the apple car, we’ll have to answer accordingly, that’s what’s right and right.” He said.
Smith’s comments came a few hours before the Supreme Court’s request for the Trump administration to appeal to the sub -court decisions.
These decisions found that Trump exceeded his authority when he applied tariffs to the points of US trade partners earlier this year.
The court will discuss the appeal on a accelerated basis. Oral arguments are expected to take place in November.
Last month, two sub -courts decided that Trump’s call for uncertain international emergency economic powers decided to justify tariffs without consulting the Congress.

However, Smith’s comments eliminated the question of whether he would try to cross similar tariffs through the Parliament if the Trump administration puts his head in trouble.
It is difficult to imagine that democrats support a bill in Parliament or in the Senate.
However, the possibility of winning the democrats – at least for the Republican leadership – is the division of a tariff bill in the Congress.

This can vote on tariffs in the Congress, forcing Republicans to choose between components that do not like tariffs and GOP voters and the president who is very popular.
“The European Union, with the United Kingdom, Japan, together with South Korea, have very good agreements, we must continue to have more than these agreements.” He said.
“We need markets because 96% of the world consumers are outdoors outside the United States, we have open markets and we all receive fair treatment.” He said.
