The global tariff of 10% of the US enters into force
The new tariff was adopted last Friday under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which empowers the president to deal with international payment problems by means of special combustion or import restrictions.
This Tuesday, the U.S. began applying the 10% global tariff announced last Friday by President Donald Trump, a decision that Trump made after the U.S. Supreme Court declared illegal the tariffs previously imposed by Washington. According to the Supreme Court, the White House has made a misinterpretation of theInternationalEmergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA, International Emergency Economic Powers Act) to impose tariffs.
However, although last Saturday, after the Supreme Court 's ruling, Trump announced an increase in tariffs from 10% to 15%, that threat has not yet materialized and the taxes that are now being applied are 10%. However, according to the US press, the White House would already be preparing a formal proposal to raise that rate.
The new tariff was adopted last Friday under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which empowers the president to deal with international payment problems by means of special restrictions on fuel or imports.
Compared to the tariffs annulled by the US Supreme Court, this global tax is provisional and can be applied for a maximum of 150 days from 24 February.
Thus, the US Customs and Border Protection Office has reported that it would stop collecting additional tariffs under the IEEPA Act and warned that "this Executive Order only affects IEEPA tariffs and does not affect any other tariff."
In any case, the President of the United States said on Monday on the networks that the Supreme Court's decision "randomly and involuntarily" gives him more power and strength than before, warning him that the judges considered all other tariffs to be good and that they could be used "more forcefully and harshly" with full legal certainty.
Thus, Trump issued a warning on Monday to countries that might have intended to "play" with the Supreme's "ridiculous" decision, especially those that have "cheated" the US for years, saying that in their case they will have much higher tariffs and "worse than those recently agreed."
