Washington. This Monday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, warned that he will increase tariffs on countries that opt for the Supreme Court’s decision, which annulled the taxes imposed by the Republican under emergency powers, representing a blow to his economic strategy. «Any nation that tries to manipulate this Supreme Court ruling, especially those that have deceived the US for years, will be subject to a higher tariff, in addition to facing more severe consequences than those recently accepted,» he posted on his Truth Social platform. Trump’s message represents an extension of his criticisms towards the majority of the Supreme Court members, who decided that the president had exceeded the limits of the emergency powers he invoked to establish reciprocal tariffs and similar measures, based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. These tariffs led several countries to establish bilateral agreements with Washington to reduce the increase in the rates applied to their exports, a situation that is now under a new legal framework and could result in lower percentages than those agreed upon.
Trump threatens to increase tariffs on countries that decide to «play» with the Supreme Court ruling.
