MARIA BARTIROMO (ANCHOR): President Trump falling for all the taunting from reporters responding to the pushback on his tariff plan yesterday before a federal court ruled the president overstepped his authority on certain tariffs, blocking the agenda from implementation. The three-judge panel writes this, ‘The court does not read the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to confer such unbounded authority, and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder.' The Trump administration immediately filing an appeal, writing this, ‘It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency. President Trump pledged to put America first and the administration is committed to using every lever of executive power to address this crisis and restore American greatness.'
All of this coming as President Trump is monitoring positive steps in trade talks with the EU. Joining me now is Trump 2024 campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, who is just back from a global trip. Jason, it's great to see you. You're back from Europe. I want to get your take now at the issues that the president faces and also get your take on what you're hearing in Europe about the president's agenda. First, take on this new pushback from the judges.
JASON MILLER (TRUMP SENIOR ADVISER): Well, Maria, good morning. What this really shows is that the global deep state is real, this legal deep state. This is their last line of defense, where you have these unelected judges who are trying to force their own will when it comes to tax policy, trade policy, and all matters of the economy. In fact, all you have to do is look at the Financial Times this morning, saying that this should embolden, this should empower foreign trading partners to stand up to President Trump.
In the meantime, the global elites don't mind that American industries are being wiped out, that American workers are being wiped out, and it also directly undermines the will of the American people -- 77.3 million people, 312 electoral votes, winning the popular vote -- who voted for President Trump to put these exact policies in place. And what this ruling does is overturns that and really this shows the battle, Maria, that we're in between American sovereignty and having a globalist takeover.
