U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to impose steeper tariffs on countries that “play games” following a Supreme Court ruling that found his administration had overstepped its authority by imposing sweeping global levies.
“Any Country that wants to ‘play games’ with the ridiculous Supreme Court decision, especially those that have ‘Ripped Off’ the U.S.A. for years, and even decades, will be met with a much higher Tariff, and worse, than that which they just recently agreed to,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that “reciprocal” tariffs, fentanyl-related levies and other related duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were unlawful.
The conservative-majority court determined that the 1977 law cited by the administration does not authorize the president to impose such broad tariffs.
Trump described the ruling as “deeply disappointing,” criticizing the decision to invalidate the “emergency” tariffs he had implemented worldwide.
The decision marked a setback for the administration’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify global trade measures.
