President Donald Trump has abruptly increased his proposed global tariff rate from 10% to 15%, the maximum allowed under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his previous tariff framework, setting the stage for a 150-day window of heightened trade volatility.
President Trump has labeled a recent Supreme Court decision limiting executive tariff authority as 'deeply disappointing,' signaling a major shift in the legal landscape for U.S. trade policy. The administration is now pivoting toward a 'path forward' that may include new legislative requests and alternative executive actions to maintain its protectionist agenda.
