\"\"USA Monitoring Desk Islamabad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump calls the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his sweeping tariffs “deeply disappointing” as he announces a new 10% levy on global imports.<\/p>\n

With a\u00a06-3 majority, the court ruled Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed tariffs via a law reserved for national emergencies – they say he needs congressional approval to impose taxes on imports.<\/p>\n

As expected, Trump says he will attempt to reimpose tariffs – but he’s yet to spell out the detail,<\/i> writes our North America correspondent. The court’s ruling applies to Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs, but not individual tariffs he imposed on specific countries or products.<\/p>\n

He has long argued tariffs boost American manufacturing – but many in the business community, as well as Trump’s political adversaries, say the costs are passed on to consumers.<\/p>\n

President Trump said, the ruling was “deeply disappointing”\u00a0<\/b>and that he was ashamed of “certain members of the court for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country.”<\/p>\n

He thanked the justices who dissented – justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh – for their “strength and wisdom” and criticised those who went against his tariff plan.<\/p>\n

The president accused the Supreme Court of being “swayed by foreign interests”, without providing any evidence. Mr. Trump said he’s signing an executive order to\u00a0impose a 10% global tariff using Section 122<\/b>, which was created by the 1974 Trade Act.<\/p>\n

The president also said he would\u00a0use Section 301<\/b> as a means to impose tariffs. He offered a glimpse into how he was reading the ruling saying it struck down a specific use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which according to the Supreme Court did not grant him the power to impose tariffs in the way he had claimed.<\/p>\n
