Trump vows to use tariffs in ‘more powerful and obnoxious’ way after Supreme Court ruling

Following the Supreme Court ruling invalidating emergency tariffs, Trump raised global import duties to 15% under a different law, with $133 billion collected previously under emergency powers.

  • Following the Friday decision, the White House announced new tariffs rising from 10 to 15 percent to take effect on Tuesday, after the Supreme Court struck down broad tariffs in a 6-3 ruling.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court found IEEPA did not authorize broad tariffs, and the administration has invoked Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act as an alternative. The court emphasized congressional authorization is required.
  • Reacting early Monday, President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that the court 'accidentally and unwittingly' granted him 'far more powers and strength' and said he can use licenses to do 'terrible' things to foreign countries, though he clarified the ruling doesn't allow it.
  • Internationally, the European Parliament groups paused work to ratify a US-EU trade deal after new 15% tariffs, while UK officials said engagement continues but warned nothing is off the table.
  • Markets reacted as the FTSE 250 fell 17.4pc amid tariff uncertainties and a Bank of England policymaker warned that the US tariff shock could take years to impact the economy.
