Trump Imposes New 15% Tariff After Supreme Court Blocks Powers

Donald Trump announced a 15 percent tariff on all imports using the Trade Act of 1974 after the Supreme Court invalidated his previous trade authority.The 6-3 judicial ruling led by John Roberts asserted that the president lacks inherent power to impose peacetime levies without specific congressional backing.Business groups including the USA Chamber of Commerce are now demanding $133 billion in refunds for tariffs collected under the overturned executive policy.European leaders like Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron warned that the new measures create trade uncertainty and could trigger a response from the EU.
