The Truwp administration is facing growing legal challenges, with courts blocking several of its key policies on immigration, trade, and executive authority.

It has raised questions about whether former President D0nald Truwp should work with Congress to pass new laws that would give him clearer legal power. At a White House press briefing on Thursday, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt why Truwp doesn’t just ask Congress, where Republicans control both the House and Senate, to pass new laws to support his policies.

“The courts are basically telling you guys they think the White House’s policies, the president’s policies, are in some way against the law,” Doocy said. “So, why can’t President Truwp ask the Republicans… just to make a new law?” It comes after a lip reader revealed First Lady Melania’s three-word ‘order’ to her husband.

Leavitt pushed back, saying the president already has the authority under the Constitution and existing laws. “These laws have already been granted to the president.

“If these judges want to be secretary of state or the president, they can run for office themselves,” she said. “All of the actions the president has taken rely on legal authorities that have already been granted to him.”

The conversation followed a court decision on Wednesday, when a panel of three judges ruled that Truwp’s tariffs on most imports were illegal.

The judges said the tariffs went around Congress’s power and didn’t meet the definition of an “emergency” under the law Truwp used.

However, on Thursday, another court paused that ruling while the case continues.

It comes as Truwp announced that he is doubling the tariff rate on steel to 50%, a dramatic increase that could further raise prices for the metal used to make housing, cars, and other goods.

He spoke at US Steel’s Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, to discuss investments by Japan’s Nippon Steel. According to the government’s producer price index, the price of steel products has increased roughly 16% since Mr Truwp became president.

The President said, “We’re here today to celebrate a blockbuster agreement that will ensure this storied American company stays an American company.

“You’re going to stay an American company, you know that, right?” He revealed that doubling the tariffs on imported steel “will even further secure the steel industry in the US”.
