Days after a federal appeals court in the US ruled that most of the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are not in accordance with the laws, US President Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) again lambasted the ruling, warning that without them, the United States would be "completely destroyed" and its military power "instantly obliterated".

In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticised a "Radical Left group of judges" for their 7 to 4 decision on the matter and extended thanks to one Democratic, Obama-appointed judge who, he said, "voted to save our Country" with courage and respect for the nation.

"Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated. In a 7 to 4 Opinion, a Radical Left group of judges didn't care, but one Democrat, Obama appointed, actually voted to save our Country. I would like to thank him for his Courage! He loves and respects the U.S.A," Trump wrote in his post.
