Trump signs executive order, new 10% global tax on all countries
US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing additional 10% tariffs on imports from all countries, following a Supreme Court ruling that declared many of the tariffs he had imposed on Washington's trading partners illegal.

Donald Trump announced his decision in a post on the Truth Social platform, stating: "It is a great honor for me to have just signed in the Oval Office a global tariff of 10% on all countries, which will take effect almost immediately."

For the first time, the US president activated Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to impose tariffs of up to 15% for up to 150 days, without prior approval from Congress.

“I don't have to ask Congress about tariffs,” he stressed yesterday, adding that the revenue from tariffs “will increase.” As he explained, the 10% “global tariffs” will be in effect for five months and will be added to those already in effect.

Asked by reporters whether the United States would have to pay back any money collected through 2025 from tariffs that were deemed illegal, Trump said it was not clear if there would be any compensation. “Ultimately, we’re going to be in court for the next five years,” he said.

The White House move comes after the US Supreme Court struck down many of the previous tariffs imposed on US trading partners.

The president launched a scathing attack on the Supreme Court, saying: "I am ashamed of some of its members who did not have the courage to do what is right for our country."

At a White House press conference, he accused the judges of demonstrating "unpatriotic attitudes and disobedience to our Constitution," while also claiming that they "submitted to foreign influences."

Trump's new initiative intensifies the confrontation with the judiciary and opens a new cycle of political and legal uncertainty around US tariff policy.
