ISTANBUL, Feb 22 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The United States (US) President Donald Trump on Saturday escalated his renewed tariff campaign by pledging to raise a previously announced 10 per cent global tariff to 15 per cent, even after the Supreme Court ruled against his previous tariff hikes, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
"Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on tariffs issued yesterday ... by the United States Supreme Court," the global tariff will be raised to 15 per cent "effective immediately," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
His announcement followed remarks on Friday in which he criticised the court’s “deeply disappointing” decision to invalidate the “emergency” tariffs he had implemented worldwide.
