Trump hits out at 'deeply disappointing' Supreme Court decision on global tariffs

President Donald Trump called the supreme court ruling that struck down his global tariffs "deeply disappointing" and said he would move to impose a 10% global tariff under another law as he prepares an executive order to do so.

Supreme Court ruling and limits on emergency tariffs

The US Supreme Court struck down the global tariffs that went into effect last year, saying the president exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs through a law reserved for a national emergency. The decision removed the legal basis for the tariffs that had been in place since last year.

Trump pivots to section 122 and the 1974 Trade Act

The president said he will "charge more under other statutes" and announced he is signing an executive order to impose a 10% global tariff using section 122, which was created by the 1974 Trade Act. Trump framed the move as an effort to "protect our country, " and called on officials to implement the new measure following the court's ruling.

Immediate fallout and next steps

With the Supreme Court decision removing the prior authority, the administration's immediate step is the executive order to invoke section 122 and set a 10% global tariff. The president's announcement signals a direct policy response: replacing the struck-down emergency-based tariffs with a tariff scheme under a different statutory provision.

Separately, news coverage of other events noted that a crew blasted off from Cape Canaveral in a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket.

The next confirmed development is the president's planned signing of the executive order to impose the 10% global tariff under section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act.
