Writing on Truth Social on Monday, the president said: “If other Countries are allowed to use Tariffs against us, and we’re not allowed to counter them, quickly and nimbly, with Tariffs against them, our Country doesn’t have, even a small chance, of Economic survival.”
In a separate post, he said: “Because of Tariffs, our Economy is BOOMING!”

It comes after the Trump administration asked a U.S. appeals court on Monday for a pause in a court ruling challenging his tariffs.
Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs were first declared illegal by the Manhattan-based U.S. Court of International Trade on May 28.
The next day, a federal court in Washington, D.C. found that the tariffs exceeded the president’s authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Trump won a temporary pause on the first court ruling, allowing him to reinstate tariffs, and the court is set to rule on a longer-term pause later this month, Reuters reported.
