Navarro’s Argument
Navarro pointed to the strong dissenting opinions as a clear “roadmap” for how the Supreme Court could overturn the ruling. He insisted that the tariffs were never meant to be permanent and warned that losing the case would be disastrous for the country.

Legal & Political Battle
The case was brought by Democratic-run states and a coalition of small import businesses. Navarro dismissed their efforts, saying they only wanted to preserve the right to import “cheap Chinese crap.” The ultimate decision now rests with the conservative-majority Supreme Court.
