teleSUR English

On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will impose a 15% global tariff, raising the rate from the previously declared 10%. The announcement was made on his social media platform, Truth Social, and comes in response to the Supreme Court ruling that struck down his earlier import taxes. The 10% tariffs were scheduled to take effect on Tuesday, February 24, but it remains unclear whether the increased 15% tariff will also begin on that date. Trump’s move signals his determination to confront the Court’s decision and maintain his aggressive trade policy.    #teleSUREnglish #UnitedStates #Trump #Tariffs #SupremeCourt #Economy #TradePolicy
