Legal challenges were another flashpoint. Trump addressed a recent ruling by the United States Supreme Court that struck down large portions of reciprocal tariffs he introduced last year. He called the decision “unfortunate” and acknowledged justices in attendance, including Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. Even so, a new round of global tariffs—set at 10 percent—went into effect days later, with Trump signaling plans to push that figure higher.
The result? A speech packed with bold claims and policy flashes, but missing the one detail many Americans were hoping would put cash in their pockets. For now, the silence leaves supporters and critics alike wondering what comes next—and how long people may be waiting.
