Trump: Raise global tariffs from 10% to 15%

BlockBeats News, February 22 — Trump issued a statement saying that yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling on tariffs was absurd and clumsy. As the President of the United States, I hereby declare that I will immediately raise the 10% global tariffs imposed on many countries to a fully legal and legally tested 15% level. Many of these countries have been “exploiting” the United States for decades without facing any punishment. Over the next few months, the Trump administration will identify and implement new lawful tariffs, continuing our extraordinary process of making America great again—more than ever before!

Yesterday, Trump signed a new tariff order imposing a 10% import duty on all countries. The announcement states that within 150 days, a 10% import tariff will be levied on goods imported into the United States, effective at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time on February 24.
