US President Donald Trump left the room where he was meeting with a bipartisan group of governors after learning of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to cancel the tariffs imposed by the leader of the White House on countries around the world, according to the US media.
According to NBC News, Trump was speaking at a lectern during a breakfast with governors at the White House when he was handed a note regarding the court's decision.
After reading the information, he commented to those present that the ruling was “a disgrace” and said he had a backup plan.
The president later left the room, according to a governor in the room at the time, quoted by NBC.
The White House has not yet issued an official response.
The Supreme Court voted 6-3 on Friday to uphold a lower court ruling that found Trump's use of a 1977 law to impose sweeping tariffs overstepped the bounds of his authority. The decision has important implications for US trade policy and international economic relations.
