A lot of people are dunking on Trump for this 
but this is actually one of the truer things he's said.
There is indeed a lot of irony in the fact the U.S. President can completely destroy a country economically with sanctions and embargoes without Congressional approval - solely through executive orders as he's currently doing with Cuba or did with Venezuela - but he cannot impose tariffs.
Which is genuinely bizarre: you can literally starve an entire people to death but slapping a 10% fee on their goods is where U.S. "democracy" kicks in.
