Trump calls tariffs ruling ‘unfortunate’ but says administration is pursuing legal alternatives

As we expected, the president bemoaned the supreme court’s ruling that Trump exceeded his presidential authority by implementing many global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

“I used these tariffs, took in hundreds of billions of dollars, to make great deals for our country, both economically and on a national security basis, everything was working well,” Trump said. “They were ripping us so badly. You all know that. Everybody knows that, even the Democrats know it.”

The president called the supreme court’s ruling “unfortunate”, as the four justices attending today’s address sat directly in the president’s eyeline.

While Trump falsely claimed the tariffs led to “no inflation” and “tremendous growth”, he said Friday’s decision was “disappointing”.

However, the president went on to tout his new 15% global tariffs under section 122 of the Trade Act. “They’re a little more complex, but they’re actually probably better, leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before,” he said.

Trump incorrectly said that these duties won’t require congressional oversight; however, these tariffs can only last 150 days before Congress has to agree to extend them.

The president repeated his xenophobic comments that the “Somali pirates ransacked Minnesota” through “bribery, corruption, and lawlessness” during his speech.

“Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA,” Trump added. Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar from Minnesota called the president a “liar” from her seat in the audience.

Trump touted low gas prices during his state of the union speech, saying they are “now below $2.30 a gallon in most states and in some places, $1.99 a gallon”.

But a major environmental rollback his administration enacted two weeks ago could push gas prices up.

The repeal of the endangerment finding – the legal underpinning for all greenhouse gas regulations in the US – is expected to create a rise in gas prices, as I explained in an analysis last week. That’s according to the administration’s own data. Check it out here.

This is some extraordinary choreography organized by Trump: he introduced the US men’s Olympic team, who entered the House chamber on the steps of the press gallery.

On the National Mall, hundreds of people, including about 30 Democratic members of Congress, are gathered for the “People’s State of the Union,” a counter rally to protest President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Attendees held signs that read “No Money for ICE” and “Healthcare Not Warfare”. One person on stage carried a large poster with the photographs of the more than 30 people who were killed in dealings with ICE since Trump took office in 2025.

MoveOn’s executive director Katie Bethell, who helped organize the event, told attendees they organized the boycott, “because we know that Donald Trump’s State of the Union will bear no resemblance to what’s actually happening in this country today”.

Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have left the White House for the US Capitol. It’s just a 2 mile drive through Washington DC.

During his State of the Union speech tonight, Trump is expected to roll out a “ratepayer protection pledges” plan, which the White House says will shield Americans from electricity price spikes driven by increased demand from AI datacenters.

Trump reportedly negotiated the plans with tech giants, who have agreed to pay for increased electricity costs in locations where new datacenters are being erected. But green groups are skeptical that they will effectively lower bills.

“Let’s be honest: big tech isn’t going to do anything for the benefit of anyone but itself,” said Mitch Jones, managing director of policy and litigation at progressive environmental group Food and Water Watch.

The president promised to halve electricity costs within his first year back in office, but the average US household paid nearly $116 more for electricity in 2025 than the year before, a 6.7% increase, the Guardian found last month. In communities near datacenters, electricity prices increased even more – by as much as 267% compared with five years ago, a Bloomberg analysis found last year.

“With the Trump administration’s complete unwillingness to hold corporations accountable for any number of harmful impacts on society, it’s imperative we halt new datacenter construction now,” he said. “We must take the time to truly study the full range of impacts of datacenters on our local communities – most certainly including the skyrocketing electricity rates already being thrust on families and small businesses – before determining not how, but if this industry can operate in a responsible way.

“I think it’s important to do. And I will be there. And I will be there as he tries to put a spin on this economy,” she told CNN. “He can spin it however he wants, but the Trump economy works great for billionaires and is not working for American families, and American families know that.”

The Massachusetts senator will be joined by Dr Geralde Gabeau, who leads the Boston-based Immigrant Family Services Institute Inc (IFSI), which works to support immigrant communities and protect immigrants’ rights. Warren noted that Trump’s immigration crackdown across the country, as well as the actions of federal immigration enforcement agents, are “making all of us less safe”.

We’re expecting to see at least some of the supreme court’s nine members at this evening’s address. This comes just days after the court ruled that many of Donald Trump’s global tariffs are illegal.

In a 6-3 decision, the court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) – a 1977 statute that grants the president authority to regulate or prohibit certain international transactions during a national emergency – does not authorize Donald Trump to unilaterally impose tariffs. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

After Friday’s ruling, the president was incensed and vented his frustration during an impromptu press conference. Trump said he was “ashamed” of the justices who ruled against his use of IEEPA. He hurled insults at them while speaking to reporters, calling them “fools and lap dogs” and “very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution” and even made baseless claims that they were being swayed by “foreign interests”. He also said that the justices were “barely” invited to his State of the Union address. “Honestly, I couldn’t care less if they come,” the president told reporters.

Virginia’s governor, Abigail Spanberger, will deliver the Democratic response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, after tonight’s speech wraps up.

Spanberger, a former undercover CIA officer who served three terms in Congress, became Virginia’s first female governor earlier this year, resoundingly winning an office previously held by a Republican. She won the race by a double-digit margin, campaigning on affordability and lowering costs for families.

Spanberger said she plans to use her rebuttal to address Americans’ concerns with “rising costs, chaos in their communities, and a real fear of what each day might bring”.

“I look forward to laying out what these Americans expect and deserve – leaders who are working hard to deliver for them,” she added.

In choosing Spanberger, 46, Democratic leaders are handing the spotlight to a battleground-tested moderate with national security credentials and a reputation for message discipline, particularly on economic issues and highlighting the impact of federal policies on everyday Virginians. Her 15-point victory in a purple state last November, alongside Mikie Sherrill in the New Jersey’s governor’s race, provided a jolt of optimism for Democrats still searching for an effective response to counter a president who dominates the national political conversation.

Several Democratic lawmakers will boycott Donald Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. Instead, many will rally on the National Mall.

So far, at least 30 Democratic members of Congress have said they will skip the State of the Union. These include senators Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Ruben Gallego of Arizona and Adam Schiff of California, as well as progressive representatives Pramila Jayapal, Maxwell Frost and Greg Casar.

The event, dubbed the “People’s State of the Union”, is being coordinated by progressive media network MeidasTouch and the liberal advocacy group MoveOn. Attorney and commentator Katie Phang and former anchor Joy Reid will co-host the rally. The event’s organizers say it will spotlight federal workers, immigrants and Americans affected by the Trump administration’s policies.

In a statement, Van Hollen said that he would not attend the address. “Trump is marching America towards fascism, and I refuse to normalize his shredding of our Constitution & democracy,” he said. “This cannot be business as usual.”

Welcome to our live coverage of Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term. We’ll bring you the very latest from Washington and beyond, as my colleagues and I cover the main event, the counter-programming and the responses to the president’s speech.

Trump telegraphed that he’s not particularly concerned about the length of tonight’s address, which will begin at 9pm ET. “It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about,” he told reporters at a White House event on Monday.

Last year, the president spoke for a record-breaking 100 minutes. As that was Trump’s first year back in office, it was considered an address to a joint session of Congress, as opposed to a State of the Union speech. This year’s address doubles as his pitch to voters to keep Republicans in control of both chambers.

Trump’s frequent press appearances mean that we’re expecting many of his greatest hits, as he touts what he sees as the primary achievements of his second administration. We can expect to hear several jabs about Joe Biden’s presidency, mass deportation numbers, the state of the economy, the president’s perceived diplomatic victories and the number of “wars” he’s settled. Throughout the night, we’ll also be factchecking the president’s comments.

Earlier, top Democrats predicted Trump’s speech would be “long, painful and tedious”. At a press conference on Capitol Hill, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer slammed Trump’s address, just hours before it was set to begin. “Never in our lifetime have we gone into a State of the Union where the president’s rhetoric and the country’s reality are so far apart,” Schumer said.

Trump repeats xenophobic rant against Somali community

The president repeated his xenophobic comments that the “Somali pirates ransacked Minnesota” through “bribery, corruption, and lawlessness” during his speech.

“Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA,” Trump added. Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar from Minnesota called the president a “liar” from her seat in the audience.

Trump said that the administration’s “war on fraud” would now be led by his vice-president JD Vance.

Reporters in the House chamber are noting that Democratic congresswoman Lauren Underwood, of Illinois, appears to have walked out of the president’s State of the Union address.

Trump said what congressional Republicans have been wanting him to emphasize ahead of the midterm elections: the tax cuts they enacted last year through his massive policy legislation.

The president said the One Big Beautiful Bill brought the “largest tax cuts” in history, which is not accurate because they’re actually the sixth largest according to the Tax Foundation, and this messaging does not appear to have really broken through.

Trump calls tariffs ruling ‘unfortunate’ but says administration is pursuing legal alternatives

As we expected, the president bemoaned the supreme court’s ruling that Trump exceeded his presidential authority by implementing many global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

“I used these tariffs, took in hundreds of billions of dollars, to make great deals for our country, both economically and on a national security basis, everything was working well,” Trump said. “They were ripping us so badly. You all know that. Everybody knows that, even the Democrats know it.”

The president called the supreme court’s ruling “unfortunate”, as the four justices attending today’s address sat directly in the president’s eyeline.

While Trump falsely claimed the tariffs led to “no inflation” and “tremendous growth”, he said Friday’s decision was “disappointing”.

However, the president went on to tout his new 15% global tariffs under section 122 of the Trade Act. “They’re a little more complex, but they’re actually probably better, leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before,” he said.

Trump incorrectly said that these duties won’t require congressional oversight; however, these tariffs can only last 150 days before Congress has to agree to extend them.

Trump has touted his “drill, baby drill” agenda at the State of the Union address.

“American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day,” he said. “American natural gas production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill.”

Since re-entering office, Trump has worked to boost fossil fuels and roll back dozens upon dozens of environmental policies and incentives. Data shows that agenda has not worked out for the fossil fuel workers Trump claims to protect, one advocate noted on social media.

“Since President Trump took office, the drive to achieve energy dominance has resulted in the loss of 15,000 mining, oil, and natural gas jobs,” Sean O’Leary, a senior researcher at the Appalachia-focused clean energy and jobs thinktank Ohio River Valley Institute, wrote on social media, citing US Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Trump boasts low gas prices despite scrapping key environmental finding

Dharna Noor

Trump touted low gas prices during his state of the union speech, saying they are “now below $2.30 a gallon in most states and in some places, $1.99 a gallon”.

But a major environmental rollback his administration enacted two weeks ago could push gas prices up.

The repeal of the endangerment finding – the legal underpinning for all greenhouse gas regulations in the US – is expected to create a rise in gas prices, as I explained in an analysis last week. That’s according to the administration’s own data. Check it out here.

Trump is spending a lot of time boasting about sports accomplishments in a way that he does at rallies. He just announced that the US men’s Olympic hockey team goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who played a key role in their gold medal win against Canada, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Reporting from the House chamber

When Trump began his address, everyone in the chamber sat down except for the representative Al Green, who continued to brandish his sign – which read “Black people aren’t apes!”, a reference to the US president recently sharing a racist video depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama.

Then a man came over – perhaps from security – and senator Markwayne Mullin again approached Green menacingly.

Green decided to leave. As he walked up the aisle, clutching his walking stick and protest sign, there were some acrimonious exchanges with Republicans, a few of whom began chanting: “USA! USA!”

Green’s seat is now empty save for a handwritten cardboard sign that says: “Al Green.”

Trump welcomes US men’s Olympic hockey team into House chamber to standing ovation

This is some extraordinary choreography organized by Trump: he introduced the US men’s Olympic team, who entered the House chamber on the steps of the press gallery.

“Here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud,” Trump said, before the Olympians appeared, raising their gold medals to raucous applause.

Trump says the US women’s Olympic hockey team will soon be coming to the White House. It’s unclear whether something has changed since the team earlier declined an invitation this morning citing scheduling conflicts.

Before introducing the team, Trump said: “Our country is winning again. In fact, we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it. People are asking me, please, please, please, Mr President, we’re winning too much. We can’t take it anymore.”

Trump’s first mention of foreign policy is with Venezuela, which he calls “our new friend and partner” and boasts the US has gotten 80m barrels of oil from the country.

This comes after the ouster of Venezuela’s deposed leader, Nicolás Maduro.

While Trump touted the plummeting border crossings, he noted that “we will always allow people to come in legally”.

However, his administration has worked to weaken legal pathways to live and work in the US, including scrapping Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several countries.

Democratic representative Al Green, who was reprimanded for interrupting Trump’s address last year, was just ejected from the House chamber.

My colleague, David Smith, is at the Capitol and notes that Green held up a handwritten sign that says: “Black people aren’t apes!”

A Republican tried to make him put it down but Green refused. Senator Markwayne Mullin walked over and tried to stop Green before the pair had a brief argument.

Off the bat, the president has branded the US as “back”.

“Bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before,” Trump said. “This is the golden age of America.” He went on to disparage the Biden presidency, noting that he inherited “a nation in crisis”, but noted that his administration has “achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before”.

“It is indeed a turnaround for the ages,” he added.

Chants of “USA, USA” erupted ahead of the president speaking in the House chamber.

Trump enters House chamber for State of the Union address

Donald Trump has just entered the House chamber to deliver his State of the Union address. He’s shaking many attendees’ hands, listening to their messages as he walks to the podium. Some lawmakers are posing for selfies with Trump.

He just shook hands with the supreme court justices in attendance tonight, including Amy Coney Barrett. On Friday, Trump said that Barrett’s family should be “ashamed” of her concurring opinion to invalidate many of the president’s tariffs.

First lady Melania Trump just walked into the House chamber to some applause. She’s followed by members of Trump’s cabinet and White House team.

Many of the president’s family, including daughter Ivanka Trump, are already seated for his address.

Four supreme court justices arrive for Trump’s State of the Union address

Four supreme court justices – John Roberts, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett – are in the House chamber tonight. This comes just days after the court ruled that many of Trump’s global tariffs are illegal.

Trump arrives at the US Capitol

Donald Trump has arrived at the US Capitol, where he’s set to address a joint session of Congress in a few minutes.

We’ll bring you the latest as it happens.

A reminder that the president’s address takes place against the backdrop of an ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown.

Following the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal immigration agents, during the administration’s crackdown in Minnesota, Democratic lawmakers decried tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Now, members of Congress are at an impasse as they hammer out guardrails for greater oversight of both agencies.
