Trump imposes 10% new global tariff after Supreme Court setback

Donald Trump – (Web Desk) – Donald Trump strongly criticized the Supreme Court of the United States after it blocked his broad tariff policy, calling the decision unfair and harmful to the country.

He said his administration has other options and could generate even more revenue through alternative trade measures.

Referring to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Section 301 of the Trade Act, Trump said these laws allow the United States to act against unfair trade practices.

Speaking at a press conference after the historic ruling, Trump announced a new 10 percent global tariff, which will be added to the existing tariffs.

He also revealed plans to start investigations into foreign governments accused of taking advantage of U.S. trade.

Trump, a 79-year-old Republican leader, insisted that he has the authority to impose tariffs without needing approval from Congress.

He further claimed the court’s decision was influenced by foreign interests and described the issue as one of national security.

U.S. President Trump slammed the 6-3 Supreme Court judgement and praised the judges who dissented from the decision, saying, “There’s no way anyone can argue against the dissenting judges.”

Trump labelled the liberal judges as “a disgrace to our nation.”

He lamented the decision, saying he was allowed to destroy a country but could not charge them $10, adding, “I am allowed to cut off any and all trade with any country. I can do anything I want.”
