Trump had said he would raise levy to 15% after last week’s supreme court ruling
Donald Trump’s new global tariffs have taken effect at 10%, even though he had threatened a higher rate of 15% over the weekend, providing “some relief” for British businesses, according to a lobby group.
After the US president suffered a defeat at the hands of the supreme court on Friday, which struck down his sweeping “liberation day” tariffs imposed last year, he angrily reacted by announcing a 10% global tariff, which he raised to 15% on Saturday in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
According to a notice from the US customs agency, “an additional 10% ad valorem duty on imported articles of every country” has been imposed for a period of 150 days from Tuesday, unless specifically exempt.
So Russia finally gets tariffed?
I hope those penguins will be able to pay.
It’s Americans who will be paying, if they want what the penguins have to offer. That’ll teach those judges!
After 150 days can he just reimpose it or is there a cooldown period before he can trigger it for another 150 days?
Im sure there are no guardrails or limitations. I feel like if congress shot down the tariffs he could just implement them again
Thought it was 15?
Taco Tuesday?
I’m so very tired of winning /s
