Trump Criticizes Supreme Court Ruling, Threatens Higher Tariffs on Trading Partners

Following the US Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that struck down key elements of President Donald Trump's global tariffs as exceeding his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Trump criticized the court and vowed to use alternative legal powers to impose trade penalties. He raised the global tariff from 10% to 15% and warned countries that attempt to "play games" with the ruling, especially those he accused of "ripping off" the US, would face higher tariffs and possible new license fees. The decision has caused uncertainty in international trade relations, with the European Union postponing a trade deal vote amid concerns over tariff impacts.
