In speech, Trump doubles down on tariffs and immigration policy

President Trump doubled down on tariffs and his immigration policy during his State of the Union speech. Just days after the Supreme Court struck down his global tariffs, the president said he will continue with tariffs through other regulations and that the tariffs will “substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax.” With justices sitting a few feet away, he described their ruling as “unfortunate.” The president also defended his administration’s efforts to deport undocumented immigrants. And he announced Vice President Vance will lead a new effort called the “war on fraud.”
