Trump threatens 10% tariffs after 'deeply disappointing' court ruling
USA TODAY
The high court ruled Trump doesn't have tariff authority under an emergency law but can impose tariffs in other ways.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said he would immediately impose 10% temporary tariffs to replace the emergency tariffs that the Supreme Court overturned Feb. 20, which he called "deeply disappointing."
The high court ruled the president doesn’t have the congressional authority to impose tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump had argued the law allowed him to impose any tariffs at any time.
“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I’m ashamed of certain members of the court – absolutely ashamed – for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country.”
