WASHINGTON (Reuters) — US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he would impose a 15% global tariff on US imports from all countries, the maximum level allowed under the law, after the country’s Supreme Court struck down his previous tariff program.
The move came less than 24 hours after Trump announced a 10% across-the-board tariff on Friday after the court’s decision. The president on Saturday upped the rate to 15%.
The ruling found that Trump had exceeded his authority when he imposed an array of higher rates under an economic emergency law.
