🚨 BREAKING: Trump Doubles Down on Tariffs
After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled his earlier sweeping tariffs unconstitutional, Trump didn’t back down — he announced a new global tariff rate of 15% on imports from countries around the world.
He originally imposed a 10% blanket tariff but then boosted it to 15% “effective immediately” using a different legal authority.
Trump framed it as fighting back against countries that “ripped off” the U.S. — a message likely to go viral on social media.
🌍 Global Shockwaves
European leaders are warning they might pause trade deal approvals with the U.S. and prepare counter-measures.
The UK is in talks over how these tariffs will affect British companies.
France says the EU has tools to hit back if needed.
💥 Public Reaction & Market Chaos
Business groups and markets are bracing for chaos — tariff policy uncertainty can slow investment and raise prices.
Some commentators say this move is almost designed to go viral, painting Trump as tough on trade while also rattling global partners.
🧨 Why This Matters
Tariffs affect everything from phones and clothes to cars and food prices.
A 15% tariff on imports could mean higher prices for consumers and supply chain disruptions worldwide.
It’s also shaping up as a major talking point for U.S. political and economic debates ahead.
