AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Following a Supreme Court ruling against his trade policy, Donald Trump announced a 15% tariff on imports from all countries, an increase from the previously announced 10%. Trump expressed anger at the Supreme Court's decision, claiming they overstepped their authority by requiring congressional approval for tariffs. He intends to implement the tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, allowing for a levy of up to 15% for 150 days, while his administration works on new tariffs. The exact implementation date of the new tariffs remains unclear. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz plans to travel to Washington to discuss the tariffs, expressing concern about the uncertainty they create and their potential harm to both European and US economies.
