Trump hikes global tariff to 15 percent after ‘ridiculous’ Supreme Court ruling

The updated import taxes have received flak from Republicans, with Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) signaling on Friday that they likely will “be defeated” in Congress. Lawmakers under the 16th amendment have broad authority over federal taxes, including tariffs.

“It may not have a veto-proof majority, but it will have a majority that will go against that 10 percent global tariff, so I think the president is making a mistake here,” he told CNN in an interview.
