Trump announces new global tariff after losing in US Supreme Court — RT World News
The justices have ruled that most of the American president’s earlier tariffs are constitutional
US President Donald Trump has announced a new 10% global tariff after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down most of the earlier measures.
In a 6–3 decision on Friday, the highest court ruled that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give Trump the authority to impose what he described as reciprocal tariffs against almost every country.
Trump responded by vowing to sign an executive order on Friday using another piece of legislation, the Trade Act of 1974, to impose additional tariffs.
“The Supreme Court did not overrule tariffs, they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA tariffs,” Trump told reporters. “Now I’m going to go in a different direction, probably the direction that I should have gone the first time,” he said.
