<p>WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he will hike his worldwide tariffs to 15% after a &#8220;complete review&#8221; of the Supreme Court decision blocking his tariffs on Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;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 &#8216;ripping&#8217; the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level,&#8221; said Trump in a Saturday morning Truth Social post.</p>
<p>The president added: &#8220;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 &#8211; GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!&#8221;</p>

<p>The White House clarified on Friday that Trump is levying the tariffs by invoking his authority under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, empowering him to address “certain fundamental international payment problems through surcharges and other special import restrictions.&#8221; The initial White House proclamation imposed a 10% ad valorem import duty on all articles imported into the U.S. for 150 days, taking effect February 24 at 12:01 a.m.</p>
<p>“By taking this action, the United States can stem the outflow of its dollars to foreign producers and incentivize the return of domestic production,” a White House fact sheet explains. “By increasing its domestic production, the United States can correct its balance-of-payments deficit, while also creating good-paying jobs, and lowering costs for consumers.”</p>

<p>Trump&#8217;s actions come after the Supreme Court struck down his reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries in a 6-3 decision on Friday, saying that the president does not have the authority to impose those broad-scale tariffs.</p>
<p>Trump, in a White House press briefing on Friday and in subsequent social media posts, said repeatedly that he is “ashamed” of the Supreme Court justices who ruled against him for “not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country.”</p>
<p>On the other hand, the president has repeatedly praised the justices who ruled in his favor.</p>
<p>&#8220;My new hero is United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and, of course, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito,&#8221; he posted on Saturday morning. &#8220;There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that they want to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;</p>
