Trump raises global tariffs to 15% day after Supreme Court strikes down previous tariffs in Learning Resources v. Trump
President Trump announced on Truth Social that he would immediately raise his global tariff from 10% to 15% following the Supreme Court's decision striking down his sweeping tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump claimed the increase was based on a 'thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs' by the Supreme Court. He stated he was raising tariffs on countries that have been 'ripping the U.S. off for decades, without retribution' and that his administration would continue to issue new 'legally permissible tariffs.' The move came just one day after the Court's landmark ruling in Learning Resources v. Trump that invalidated tariffs affecting over 330,000 American businesses and $166 billion in payments. The immediate reimposition represents a direct challenge to judicial authority and constitutional checks and balances.
