Trump Raises New Tariffs to 15% on All Imports

Donald Trump announced an increase in tariffs on all imports from 10% to 15%, a move he justified after "many months of thought" and in response to a recent court ruling that deemed the previous tariffs illegal. The announcement was made via a post on the Truth Social platform. Trump strongly criticized the court decision, calling it "ridiculous, poorly written and anti-American." He argued that the increase in tariffs is perfectly legal and permissible, adding that this will help strengthen the American economy and return the country to its former prosperity. The former president emphasized that many countries had been "taking advantage" of the United States for decades without retaliation, until his arrival in the White House. He stressed that his policy aims to protect American workers and businesses. The Trump administration will determine and issue the new tariffs in the coming months, with the goal of continuing the effort to make America "greater" than ever. This decision is expected to provoke reactions and affect international trade.
