【Trump's Article: Proper Use of Tariffs Does Not Hinder Economic Growth】
On January 30, 2026, in Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote in a column article published in the Wall Street Journal:
We have clearly demonstrated that as long as tariffs are used properly, they do not hinder economic growth, but rather promote growth and greatness, as I have said from the beginning. There has been no backlash against American goods globally, and the United States has signed trade agreements with many countries including Japan, China, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. These agreements have reduced barriers to U.S. exports, resulting in stock markets not only flourishing in the United States, but also in almost all countries involved in the negotiations.
The share of China in U.S. imports has dropped to the lowest level since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. Billions of dollars in additional funds are flowing into the United States. I sincerely hope that the U.S. Supreme Court will follow these figures, because we Americans have never seen such a situation before!

The background of Trump's article is that the U.S. Supreme Court is about to rule on whether Trump's tariff imposition was overstepping his authority.
