Trump ups Tariffs to 15% Day after Supreme Court Ruling against him

US President Donald Trump has said that he will impose global tariffs of 15%, as he continued to rail against a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his previous import taxes.

Trump said on Friday that he would replace the tariffs scrapped by the court with a 10% levy on all goods coming into the US.

But on Saturday, he announced on Truth Social that this would be increased to 15%.

These will come into force on Tuesday 24 February and can only stay in place for around five months before the administration must seek congressional approval.
