Trump’s 10% global tariffs explained: Trade war escalates after counterstrike on court’s ruling

US President Donald Trump has announced a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 authority, just hours after the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 against his use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs. Calling the decision “deeply disappointing,” Trump insisted the ruling did not eliminate presidential tariff authority and vowed stronger action. He accused certain justices of lacking courage and claimed foreign nations were celebrating the verdict.
