New Delhi: US President Donald Trump recently got a big blow from the Supreme Court. The court ruled by a 6-3 majority that the massive import tariffs imposed by Trump through emergency powers are unconstitutional. The court said that Congress has the right to impose tariffs, the President cannot do so alone.
With this decision, many of Trump’s old tariff policies were cancelled. Trump expressed anger over this decision and targeted the judges included in the majority, and even two of his own appointees.
Trump’s new announcement
Despite the setback, Trump did not back down. He said that they will now impose tariffs through other legal routes. Earlier he had announced a 10% global tariff, which would have been implemented by executive order and would have lasted only for 150 days.
Now on Saturday Trump talked about increasing it to 15%. He wrote on social media that this is after a complete review of the decision. Trump says that the new tariffs will make America stronger and remove trade imbalance.
Justice Kavanagh called the new hero

Trump posted on Truth Social, "My new hero is Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and of course Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. There is no doubt that he wants to make America great again!" Trump to Kavanaugh "genius" And told about his good appointment.
