Trump’s trade gamble will continue, despite Supreme Court rebuke

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court may have ruled 6-3 against US President Donald Trump’s use of an international emergency law to impose tariffs. But Mr Trump seems intent on continuing the experiment he has run with the US economy over the past year, in which he has raised tariffs to levels not seen since the 1930s.

In a news conference at the White House on Feb 20, Mr Trump made a series of false claims about the economic impact of tariffs, and he promised to replace, or even increase, them using laws other than the one the court rejected.
