US President Donald Trump has said he will impose global tariffs of 15%, as he has continued to rail against a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his previous import taxes.
Trump said on Friday that he would replace the tariffs scrapped by the court with a 10% levy on all goods coming into the US.
But on Saturday, he announced on Truth Social that this would be increased to the maximum allowed under a never-used trade law.
That law allows these new tariffs to stay in place for around five months before the administration must seek congressional approval.
The 10% tariffs were set to come into force on Tuesday, 24 February. It's unclear if the increased 15% would also be imposed starting then. The BBC has contacted the White House.
The new 15% tax rate - a temporary solution under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act - raises questions for countries such as the UK and Australia, which had agreed a 10% tariff deal with the US.
Trump said his administration had reached the decision to raise the levy following a review of the Supreme Court's "ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday".
In a 6-3 decision, justices on the highest US court found that the president had overstepped his powers when he introduced sweeping global tariffs last year using a 1977 law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The US has already collected at least $130bn (£96.4bn) in tariffs using IEEPA, according to the most recent government data.
Immediately following the ruling, Trump said that he was "ashamed of certain members of the court" and called the justices who rejected his trade policy "fools".

his phone calls are the best. my favorite on is when he called and said it would obvious he won 2020 just based on rally sizes, then said he just wants to find 11780 votes, which is only 1 more than he needed to win. classic shit, he's such an transparent guy and that election problem stuff is totally legit.

>You can't investigate elections!!!
We know. Don't do your own research. Listen to science. Love is love. Be a pleb.

Yeah, that's by design. The right bullshits about fake election fraud for years, then when people call out their own election meddling they go "Oh, so NOW you care?" It might be a little clever if it wasn't so fucking obvious.

Or the fact that trump trying to steal the 2020 was a smoking howitzer, but because the criminal system is so corrupt, he was able to escape accountability.
If a democrat made the 'Find me 11780' call he'd be in prison right now and republicans would still be invoking it.

Nice strawman, but I think when we're talking trump's fraud and interference, we're talking more about the bomb threats called into democratic areas, or the way he publicly thanked elon for rigging the election, or the statistical anomaly of how he 'won' every swing state with a margin just under what would trigger a recount, or how he thanked elon for rigging the election machines.
Dead voters voting is right wing nonsense, there is no widespread voter fraud at the rate your propaganda sources claim, certainly not enough to rig an election or justify the poll taxes he's using to nakedly try and influence the next election he keeps saying we shouldn't even have.
Those guys are right. You got your investigation and audit, we should too.
Also, you're a brainwashed fascist pedophile enabler, you should feel embarrassment and shame constantly, if only you had the capacity for either.

How is it spiting the supreme court?
If you read their decision they say passing tariffs under one statute is illegal but then offer alternatives that would be legal. And Trump is using those legal alternatives.
To use a metaphor it's like Trump is in the driver's seat and the supreme court is offering directions. They just told Trump he can't make a left turn because the road is closed and to take a turn right instead. And he's doing that dutifully

People that are lying/wrong:
All 50 Secretary of states, half of which are trump supporting republicans
Domestic election watchdogs
International election watchdogs
The 110+ consecutive election lawsuits that trump and his allies lost/had dismissed
The multiple election lawsuits the Supreme Court dismissed. (2 justices appointment by Trump)
The dozens of recounts.
The dozens of hand recounts (trump actually lost by larger margins after some of the recounts)
The election audits
The Republican head of cyber security
Common sense.
People who are honest/right:
Trump
The my pillow guy.
