Any levies issued under Section 122 last up to 150 days and are limited to 15 percent of the product\u2019s estimated value. Congress must approve on extending these tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It remains unclear why the tariff rate was readjusted to 10 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court ruled against his sweeping tariffs \u2013\u2013 implemented under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) \u2013\u2013 in a 6-3 decision on Friday. The law allows the president to \u201cregulate\u201d imports when necessary to respond to national emergencies that pose an \u201cunusual and extraordinary\u201d threat \u2014 a threshold the high court ruled Trump\u2019s tariffs did not meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president denounced the decision and announced in a post on Truth Social early Saturday that the global tariff rate would \u201cimmediately\u201d be increased \u201cto the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump slammed the majority opinion of the court and praised Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. He also lashed out at Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, his first and third high court appointees, saying their decision against his tariffs were \u201can embarrassment to their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, he said Kavanaugh made him \u201cproud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court\u2019s ruling did not address tariff refunds but set the upcoming battle to be held in the lower courts. More than $175 billion is at risk of being refunded, Penn Wharton Budget Model economists said in a recent analysis first reported by Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday\u2019s ruling also set the state for Republican members of Congress to battle it out over how to respond to the court\u2019s order. Some of Trump\u2019s allies, led by Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), are already pushing a plan to move legislation under the special budget reconciliation process, which would allow tariff rates to go up with a simple majority vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Republicans, like Kentucky Sens. Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, praised the court\u2019s ruling, leaving other GOP lawmakers questioning how to proceed. Sen. Ted Budd (N.C.) told The Hill on Friday that he dislikes tariffs \u201cbut there\u2019s more things beyond tariffs that we need to address.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budd added, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things we should [do] through reconciliation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed a 10 percent tariff on all goods not covered by current exemptions, returning to the global rate first announced by President Trump after the Supreme Court struck a blow to the bulk of his emergency import taxes.
