After court ruling, Trump says U.S. global tariff rate will rise from 10% to 15%


President Donald Trump said on Saturday he will raise a temporary tariff from 10% to 15% on U.S. imports from all countries, the maximum level allowed under the law, after the U.S. Supreme ‌Court struck down his previous tariff program. The Supreme Court's decision, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, concluded the law Trump had used for most of his tariffs, the International Emergency Economic ‌Powers Act, did not grant the president the powers he claimed. Trump reacted with fury to the ruling, calling the justices in the majority "fools" and describing Gorsuch and Barrett in particular as "embarrassments," while vowing to continue his global trade war.
