一些共和党人正在暗中庆祝最高法院周五阻止了唐纳德·特朗普总统大部分关税政策的决定,尽管这对总统的外交政策和经济战略的基石造成了打击。

例如,一位获得匿名权以畅所欲言的众议院共和党保守派议员表示,他们感到“如释重负”。

“这是正确的结果,”他们表示,“我已经看到共和党议会其他成员发来的宽慰和认可的信息。我预计会有更多人表达这种宽慰。这有助于确保国会保留对关税的权力,并维护权力制衡。”

另一位与特朗普结盟的众议院共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道:“我认为最高法院合理地裁定这是第一条(宪法)授权的权力。”

“保守派对将关税作为长期策略并不满意,”第二位众议院共和党人表示,“总统正确地将其用作工具,并正确地利用它们在某些事情上取得成果。但从长远来看……这是对消费者的征税。”

以保守派为主的最高法院周五裁定,特朗普没有根据《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)实施关税的权力。白宫对这部1977年法律的解读被用作特朗普去年首次公布的大规模“解放日”关税的基础。

但首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨认为,如果法律意在赋予关税权力,就会更明确地提及。

罗伯茨表示,“总统必须‘指出明确的国会授权’来证明其为实施关税而断言的非凡权力是合理的”,而“他做不到”。

这一裁决及随后的宽慰浪潮并非共和党人首次违抗特朗普及其关税政策。参议院曾多次投票反对该战略的特定部分,众议院上周也投票终止了特朗普针对加拿大的紧急声明,以结束那里的关税。

“第一条(宪法)将关税权力赋予国会。最高法院的裁决是常识性且直接明了的。我感觉自己的立场得到了证实,因为我在过去12个月里一直这么说,”内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·培根告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他是上周投票反对加拿大关税的六位共和党议员之一。“除了我对政府广泛关税政策的宪法担忧外,我也认为关税不是明智的经济政策。广泛的关税是糟糕的经济学。”

一位共和党助手在裁决后坦率地告诉福克斯新闻数字频道:“关税糟透了,毫无用处。”

参议院最直言不讳的关税反对者之一、肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗在裁决后不久在X平台上发文称,最高法院“推翻了利用紧急权力征税的做法”。

“包括社会主义政府在内的任何未来政府都不能利用‘紧急’权力绕过国会,通过法令征税,”保罗在发给福克斯新闻数字频道的声明中表示。

白宫“聚焦价格亲民”,特朗普软化关税策略

但并非所有共和党人都对这一结果感到兴奋,也并非所有人都认同他们同事对特朗普议程遭受沉重打击及可能对其经济政策产生的连锁反应的态度。一位共和党消息人士将这种宽慰或反对的情绪描述为“50/50”。

一位参议院共和党消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道:“如果这对任何共和党人来说是一种宽慰,那么他们显然不关心总统的议程。”

“政府会找到绕过这一裁决的方法,而且应该这么做,但现在庆祝的人可能脑子少了一部分。”该消息人士表示,“我不明白有人怎么能看到特朗普总统和美国人民损失数万亿美元还能笑得出来。”

堪萨斯州共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他对这一决定感到失望,但并不意外,并指出法院在这个问题上存在分歧。

“特朗普总统的关税政策取得了成效——让我们的贸易伙伴坐到谈判桌前,达成了十项贸易协定,并推动供应链和制造业回流美国,”马歇尔说,“这些工具也推进了我们的国家安全利益,包括施压印度等国家停止购买俄罗斯石油。”

第三位被允许匿名坦率发言的众议院共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,最高法院的裁决是“严重打击”,因为关税“正在取得我们终于在公平贸易方面取得的进展”。

‘Tariffs suck’: Some Republicans privately celebrate as Supreme Court blocks Trump policy

‘It’s the right result,’ one House conservative granted anonymity to speak freely said

Some Republicans are quietly cheering the Supreme Court’s decision blocking most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Friday, even as it deals a blow to a cornerstone of the commander in chief’s foreign policy and economic strategy.

One conservative House GOP lawmaker granted anonymity to speak freely, for example, said they were “relieved.”

“It’s the right result,” they said. “I am already seeing messages of relief and approval from other members of the Republican conference, as well. I expect that even more will express that relief. This helps to ensure Congress keeps its power over tariffs and preserves separation of power.”

Another Trump-aligned House Republican told Fox News Digital, “I think the Supreme Court rightfully decided that this was an Article I authority.”

“Conservatives don’t like tariffs as a long-term strategy,” the second House Republican said. “The president was right to use them as a tool, and he was right to use them to get outcomes on certain things. But in a long-term way… it’s a tax on consumers.”

The conservative-majority high court ruled on Friday that Trump did not have the authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The White House’s interpretation of the 1977 law was used as the basis for sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs that Trump first unveiled last year.

But Chief Justice John Roberts argued that the law would have more expressly mentioned tariff authority if that is what it was meant for.

Roberts said “the president must ‘point to clear congressional authorization’ to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs,” which “he cannot.”

The ruling, and subsequent wave of relief, isn’t the first time Republicans have bucked Trump and his tariffs. The Senate on several occasions has voted against specific parts of the strategy, and the House voted last week to end Trump’s emergency declaration on Canada aimed at ending tariffs there.

“Article One gives tariff authority to Congress. This was a common sense and straightforward ruling by the Supreme Court. I feel vindicated as I’ve been saying this for the last 12 months,” Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., one of six House Republicans who voted against the Canada tariffs last week, told Fox News Digital. “Besides the Constitutional concerns I had on the Administration’s broad-based tariffs, I also do not think tariffs are smart economic policy. Broad-based tariffs are bad economics.”

One GOP aide bluntly told Fox News Digital after the ruling, “Tariffs suck and are useless.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., one of the most vocal opponents of tariffs in the Senate, contended in a post on X shortly after the ruling that the Supreme Court “struck down using emergency powers to enact taxes.”

“No future administration, including a socialist one, can use ‘emergency’ powers to get around Congress and tax by decree,” Paul said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

But not every Republican was thrilled by the result, nor their colleagues’ attitude toward the hefty blow dealt to Trump’s agenda and the ripple effect it could have on his economic policies. One Republican source described the outpouring of relief or opposition as “50/50.”

A GOP Senate source told Fox News Digital, “If this is a relief to any Republican, then they clearly don’t care about their president’s agenda.”

“The administration will find a way around this, and should, but anyone who’s celebrating right now is probably missing a part of their brain,” the source said. “I don’t understand how someone can see President Trump and the American people lose trillions of dollars and smile.”

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Fox News Digital that he was disappointed by the decision, but not surprised, and noted that the court was divided on the issue.

“President Trump’s tariffs were delivering results — bringing our trading partners to the table, securing ten trade agreements, and driving supply chains and manufacturing back to the United States,” Marshall said. “These tools were also advancing our national security interests, including pressuring countries like India to stop purchasing Russian oil.”

A third House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told Fox News Digital the Supreme Court decision was “a severe blow” because the tariffs “were making progress that we finally have on fair trade.”
