00:00Donald Trump says he'll immediately impose a 10% global levy after the Supreme Court ruled his sweeping tariffs had
00:07exceeded his presidential authority.
00:11Hezbollah says eight of its members were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the eastern Lebanese region of Baalbek on Friday.
00:20U.S. President Donald Trump says he'll impose a 10% global tariff and continue ahead with alternative measures after
00:28the Supreme Court ruled his sweeping tariffs exceeded presidential authority on Friday.
00:33The ruling dealt a major blow to Trump, striking down what has been one of the biggest pillars of his
00:39economic policy.
00:40The U.S. President seemed unfazed, however, and says with the new 10% levies he plans to introduce, Washington
00:48is set to make even more money than before.
00:51We are doing the various investigations necessary to put fair tariffs or tariffs, period, on other countries.
01:02So we're doing that, period, but we're immediately instituting the 10% provision, which we're allowed to do.
01:07And in the end, I think we're taking more money than we've taken in before.
01:11Trump's tariffs have been in deliberation at the U.S. top court for months.
01:16Six of the nine justices voted to outlaw his sweeping measures, which went into effect in August.
01:22The ruling puts much of the revenue earned from tariffs in question, and also trade deals brokered by the Trump
01:29administration, including the one with the European Union.
01:37Hezbollah says eight of its members were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the eastern Lebanese region of Baalbek on Friday,
01:44including several local officials.

01:53leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by Israel in September 2024.
01:58Israel also confirmed on Saturday that its strikes had eliminated several Hezbollah members in what it says were three command
02:06centers in Baalbek.
02:08The IDF said in a post that those members were ramping up the group's readiness and allegedly planning attacks against
02:14Israel, but provided no evidence.
02:17Lebanon's health ministry earlier noted that 10 people were killed in the strikes, including three children, and a further 24
02:25people were wounded.
02:27Doctors in the nearby Riaq hospital confirmed that they had received the bodies of 10 people and were treating 21
02:33others who had sustained injuries.
02:35Hospital officials said that two of those killed and five of the injured were foreign nationals from Syria and Ethiopia.
