Taking away President Trump’s tariffs would be a “total disaster,” he posted on Truth Social after a court ruled 7-4 against him on Aug. 29.
However, the tariffs will stay active through the appeal process.
“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT! Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end.”
Trump says that he will bring manufacturing back to the United States through tariffs.
Manufacturing jobs in the United States has declined over the past 60 years. Trump has promised tax breaks to companies that manufacture products here.
“If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong,” he posted. “The U.S.A. will no longer tolerate enormous Trade Deficits and unfair Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers imposed by other Countries, friend or foe, that undermine our Manufacturers, Farmers, and everyone else.”
The Congressional Budget Office projects that the tariffs enacted from Jan. 6 through Aug. 19 will drop the deficit by $3.3 trillion if the higher tariffs persist from 2025‒2035.

Trump continued:
“If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America," Trump said. "At the start of this Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that TARIFFS are the best tool to help our Workers, and support Companies that produce great MADE IN AMERICA products. For many years, Tariffs were allowed to be used against us by our uncaring and unwise Politicians."

The U.S. Supreme will likely decide the question, he said.
“Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use them to the benefit of our Nation, and Make America Rich, Strong, and Powerful Again! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Meriwether Farms welcomed Trump enacting a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, the Wyoming-based company posted on social media.
"We are aware of a serious pressure campaign from the corrupt Brazilian company, JBS, and their American henchmen at the NCBA to remove this tariff, but we are so happy that @potus is standing up to these crooks and putting American ranchers FIRST!Mr. President, the next step is to support Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL), so that BRICS-aligned companies cannot undercut American producers by selling their inferior products as American!KEEP CRUSHING, DJT! #AmericaFirst"
We are thankful to President Trump for putting a 50% tariff on Brazil, and not excluding beef products!

The National Cattlemen's Beef Association said that it strongly supports the tariff, Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus told Townhall in an email.
"For many years, NCBA has called for full suspension of imported Brazilian beef due to their abysmal lack of accountability on cattle health and food safety," Bacus said. "Brazil’s failure to report cases of atypical BSE and their history of FMD is a major concern for America’s cattle producer. A 50% tariff is a good start, but we need to suspend beef imports from Brazil so we can conduct a thorough audit and verify Brazil’s claims.”
