Trump says he'll raise tariffs to 15 percent after Supreme Court ruling

3 days ago

President Donald Trump announced an increase in global tariffs from 10% to 15% following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down many of his previously imposed tariffs.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's unilateral imposition of tariffs was unconstitutional, as the power to tax lies with Congress.
Trump plans to use a different legal authority to impose the new tariffs, despite the Court's decision limiting his emergency powers.
Trump criticized the Supreme Court justices who ruled against him, including two of his own appointees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett.
Democrats, including members of the House Ways and Means Committee and California Governor Gavin Newsom, criticized Trump's tariff plans, accusing him of increasing costs for Americans.
Trump has previously claimed that foreign governments, not American consumers, pay the tariffs, despite evidence to the contrary.
The Supreme Court's decision did not address the fate of the $133 billion already collected from the tariffs under the now-struck-down emergency powers law.
