Trump calls Justice Kavanaugh ‘my new hero’ for dissenting in tariff ruling

Following a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that Trump exceeded emergency tariff powers, he raised global tariffs to 15%, citing a review of the court's anti-American decision.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in Washington imposing a 10% global tariff for 150 days, citing the Trade Act of 1974.
  • Legally, the ruling focused on IEEPA and the majority of justices found Trump had overreached, citing the Constitution assigns taxing power to Congress, not the president.
  • Kavanaugh's dissent, which Trump praised, stated the tariffs were "clearly lawful," and he was the only Trump appointee to dissent.
  • The new duties will face legal scrutiny, and it is unclear how trade negotiations with world leaders will respond after markets were jolted by Trump's shifting tariff announcements.
  • Trump raised the global tariff to 15% on Saturday, the statutory cap, pursuing additional Commerce Department investigations with IEEPA collections estimated between $133 and $175 billion.
