Trump raises global tariffs again
AVN wrote about this on his social network Truth Social.
Please take this statement as confirmation that I, as President of the United States of America, am immediately raising the 10% global tariff on all countries — many of which have been "ripping off" the United States for decades without any response (until I came along!) — to the maximum allowable and legally verifiable level of 15%.

He added that he is doing so "based on a comprehensive, detailed and complete analysis of the absurd, poorly written and extremely un-American tariff decision handed down yesterday, after many months of deliberation, by the Supreme Court of the United States."
Recall that only this morning did Trump officially confirm that he had signed an executive order imposing 10 percent global tariffs on all countries, which he had previously announced.
