He later said on Saturday he would increase that level ⁠to 15 percent.The move added to confusion surrounding US trade policy, with no explanation offered for why the lower rate had been used.Collection of the new tariffs began at midnight on Tuesday, while the collection of the ⁠tariffs annulled by the Supreme Court was halted. They had ⁠ranged from 10 percent to as much as 50 percent.The conservative-majority court ruled six to three that Trump had exceeded his authority in using a 1977 law to impose sudden tariffs on individual countries.But Trump says the tariffs are justified as a means “to deal with the large and serious United States balance-of-payments deficits”, according to a White House press release.The new duty, taking effect Tuesday, only lasts for 150 days unless extended by Congress and is widely seen as a bridge towards a more durable trade policy.
