JUST IN: Trump Announces New Global Tariffs

President Donald Trump said Friday he will sign an executive order creating a new 10% “global tariff,” moving swiftly after the Supreme Court struck down his broad “reciprocal” import duties in a stinging setback for a cornerstone of his trade agenda.

Speaking at a White House press briefing, Trump said the new tariff would be layered on top of existing levies that survived the court’s decision. He sharply criticized the ruling and vowed to pursue other paths to reshape U.S. trade policy without going through Congress.

Trump’s remarks came hours after the high court invalidated the legal foundation of the reciprocal tariffs, a program the administration had argued was central to protecting the U.S. economy and rebuilding domestic manufacturing.

“I think their decision was terrible,” Trump said, taking aim at the outcome. “I think it’s an embarrassment to their families, you want to know the truth. The two of them.”

Trump singled out Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom he nominated, for siding with the majority in the 6-3 decision.

The president said he will sign the executive order later Friday, invoking Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Tariffs imposed under that provision are limited to 150 days unless Congress approves an extension.

Pressed on that time constraint and on the prospect of seeking congressional backing, Trump defended his authority.

“We have the right to do pretty much what we want to do,” he said.

Despite the court’s ruling, Trump said tariffs enacted under Section 232 and Section 301 will remain “in full force and effect.”

Section 232 allows trade restrictions on national security grounds, while Section 301 permits duties tied to findings of unfair trade practices. The administration is already using Section 301 to conduct multiple investigations that could lead to additional tariffs, Trump said.

The Supreme Court’s decision marked one of the most significant judicial checks on Trump’s second-term economic policies, casting uncertainty over the administration’s strategy to use emergency powers to impose wide-ranging import duties.

Trump, however, signaled no retreat.

“We’ll be announcing other measures,” he said, insisting the administration would continue pushing to “level the playing field” for American industry.
