President Donald Trump bounced back Saturday after being handed a reverse Friday by the Supreme Court by saying he will not abandon his policy of charging tariffs on goods from other nations.
“Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday, after MANY months of contemplation, by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been ‘ripping’ the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level,” Trump posted onTruth Social.
“During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs, which will continue our extraordinarily successful process of Making America Great Again – GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!”

Trump indicated Friday that he was not taking the Supreme Court ruling lying down
“The new TARIFFS, totally tested and accepted as Law, are on their way!” he had posted Friday night onTruth Social.
Trump alsopostedthat “Those members of the Supreme Court who voted against our very acceptable and proper method of TARIFFS should be ashamed of themselves. Their decision was ridiculous but, now the adjustment process begins, and we will do everything possible to take in even more money than we were taking in before!”
CNBCnoted that there was some uncertainty after Trump’s post,
A White Housefact sheetissued Friday said the initial 10 percent tariffs would be in effect for 150 days as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday.
