US EditionTrump Threatens Countries Who ‘Play Games’ Will Be Forced to Pay Higher Tariffs
Trump used a separate law to impose 10% tariffs with plans to raise to 15%, warning countries against exploiting the Supreme Court ruling on his trade policies.
- On Tuesday, Trump used a different statute to impose broad import duties taking effect Tuesday, warning nations Monday not to `play games` with tariffs.
- The US Supreme Court last Friday struck down the country-specific/global tariffs, ruling the administration exceeded emergency authority and forcing a pivot to a different statute.
- US Customs and Border Protection posted late Sunday it would stop collecting struck-down tariffs starting Tuesday, while US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer expects partners to `stand by` their deals and Trump vowed to hike duties to 15 percent.
- International reactions followed, with China urging cancellation of unilateral measures, saying `protectionism leads nowhere`, while European Union lawmakers paused approval of a key trade deal with the United States agreed last year.
- Trump asserted the court's decision enhanced his authority and insisted `as President, I do not have to go back to Congress to get approval of tariffs`, dealing a sharp blow to his economic agenda.
