President Donald Trump has raised global tariffs to 15 percent just a day after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the legal foundation of his sweeping trade measures. In a 6–3 ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts said Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, stressing that only Congress can authorize such extraordinary powers. Within hours, Trump signed a new executive order imposing a 10 percent tariff, later increasing it to 15 percent. The move escalates tensions globally, raising questions about constitutional limits, market stability, and possible retaliation.
