Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he feels "confident" the Trump administration will win the fight to rescue President Trump's tariffs in the Supreme Court after lower courts invalidated them.
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Bessent was asked by host Kristen Welker whether the administration was prepared to offer rebates on the tariffs if the Supreme Court ruled against them.
"I am confident that we will win at the Supreme Court," he said.
However, he argues that there are "numerous other avenues that we can take." |

Trump border czar Tom Homan said Chicago and other sanctuary cities should expect to see immigration enforcement action in the coming week.
"Absolutely," Homan said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, when asked directly about enforcement action in Chicago this week.
"You can expect action in most sanctuary cities across the country," he continued. "President Trump's prioritized sanctuary cities because sanctuary cities knowingly release illegal alien public safety threats to the streets every day. That's where the problem is. |

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the impact of President Trump's tariffs on U.S. manufacturing jobs, as leaders in the industry call for an end to the tariffs, arguing it's "been a couple of months."
Since April, manufacturing jobs have fallen by 12,000 and are now down by 42,000. Businesses have complained for months since Trump announced sweeping tariffs that they are slowing the economy. However, during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Bessent argued that not enough time has passed for the U.S. to see the benefits of tariffs on manufacturing jobs.
"It's been a couple of months. And with the manufacturing sector…we can't snap our fingers and have factories built," he said. |
