Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump has announced that he will again increase tariffs on his trading partners. The US Supreme Court on Friday overturned Trump's 10 percent tariffs on all trading partners and additional tariffs on key competitors in April last year.
Despite the majority of judges appointed by the Republican president, after the Supreme Court ruled against his announcement, Trump challenged the order and announced on Friday that he would impose 10 percent tariffs on his trading partners.
By increasing the rate on Saturday, Trump announced that the customs rate will reach 15 percent by writing a post on his Truth social account.
