The Director of the White House Economic Council Kevin Hassett says he remains “very, very convinced” that the courts will support the president Donald Trump Tariff agenda.
Hassett made a statement during Sunday morning appearance on the ABC “This week”, speaker George Stephanopoulos that the White House continues to expect that “Plan A” will succeed.
“And we are so delighted. We are very convinced that the judges would support this law. And so I think it is a plan, and we are very, very sure that the plan and everything we will ever need,” Hassett said.
“But if, for some reason, a judge said that it was not a national emergency situation when more Americans die of fental than ever died in all American wars, it is not urgent that the President has a power over – if that funny statement is somewhere the judge, then we will have other alternatives that we can look for and that we will ensure that we have done us.”

The Hassett’s appearance came after the Federal Court broke down Trump’s tariff last week, just for the appeal court to issue a temporary stay that protects tariffs during litigation.
The judgment of the appeal court Flashed the decision The US Court for International Trade (CIT), allowing Trump to continue to bring 10% of the basic tariff and the so -called “reciprocal tariffs” he announced on April 2, under the International Emergency Power Law, or IEEPA.
Cit unanimously ruled to block the tariff the day before.

For now, the burden of proof is transferred to the Government, which must convince the court that it will suffer “irreparable damage” if the ban remains in force, the high legal standard with which Trump’s administration must meet.
