In a move that is likely to escalate global trade tensions, President Trump has signed an executive order imposing a 10% tariff on imports from countries around the world. This decision comes hours after the Supreme Court ruled that most of his previous tariffs were unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision, which was announced on Friday, struck down a set of sweeping emergency tariffs that President Trump had imposed on various countries, including China, Canada, and Mexico. The tariffs were imposed under the guise of national security concerns, but the court ruled that they were not justified.
In response to the court's decision, President Trump lashed out at two of the justices who voted against him, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch. Both justices were appointed by Trump during his first term, and their decision to side with the majority has been seen as a significant setback for the president's trade agenda.
Despite the court's ruling, President Trump has vowed to continue his efforts to protect American industries through tariffs. The new 10% tariff, which will apply to imports from all countries, is likely to have far-reaching consequences for global trade.
The implications of the tariff are still unclear, but it is likely to lead to higher prices for consumers and potentially damage relationships with key trading partners. The move has already been met with criticism from some lawmakers and business groups, who argue that it will harm American businesses and workers.
In other news, the Ontario premier has announced that bars and restaurants in the province will be allowed to start serving alcohol early on Sunday in anticipation of the gold medal men's hockey game between the US and Canada. The decision is likely to be a welcome relief for hockey fans, but it is unlikely to distract from the growing trade tensions between the two countries.
Meanwhile, the UK has blocked a request by the US to use British bases for a potential strike on Iran. The decision, which was reportedly made due to concerns about violating international law, is a significant setback for the US and highlights the growing tensions between the two countries.
As the global trade landscape continues to shift, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the consequences of these developments will be felt for months to come.
