This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling which indicated that he lacked the emergency powers to impose certain tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Trump communicated his decision via social media, noting it was based on his &#8220;thorough and detailed review&#8221; of the Supreme Court&#8217;s &#8220;poorly written&#8221; decision regarding tariffs. After the court&#8217;s ruling, he signed an executive order allowing him to bypass Congress and introduce a 10% tax on imports for a limited time of 150 days, unless extended by new legislation.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on India<\/h3>\n<p>The latest changes bring more uncertainty for countries like India. Last year, India faced a 25% tariff from the U.S., which was later increased to 50% due to additional duties on oil imports from Russia\u2014an action taken in response to the conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this February, Trump had reduced the reciprocal tariffs on India to 18% after both nations agreed on a framework for a trade deal. Now, with the proposed 15% global tariff, India&#8217;s effective rate would stand at approximately 18.5%, showing only a small change from the recent agreement.<\/p>\n<h3>The Supreme Court Ruling and Trump&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Trump&#8217;s imposition of tariffs under emergency powers was unconstitutional. The decision, made with a 6-3 majority, stated that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not grant the President the ability to impose tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Trump expressed his disappointment, criticizing the judges for their ruling. He described them as &#8220;disloyal to our Constitution&#8221; and expressed embarrassment over the decision. Shortly after, he announced the new global tariff, clarifying that countries with trade agreements, including India, would see their tariffs temporarily reduce to 10% before any new duties are implemented.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Trump praised the dissenting judges in the Supreme Court, calling them his &#8220;new heroes&#8221; and emphasizing their desire to &#8220;Make America Great Again.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump Raises Global Tariff to 15% After Supreme Court Ruling On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a hike in the global tariff he plans to impose, increasing it from 10% to 15%.
