President Donald Trump rushed to salvage his signature tariffs after the Supreme Court struck down his global duties, pledging he would use different tools to work around the ruling and preserve import taxes he has cast as essential to his economic and foreign policy.

The president said Friday he planned to impose a flat 10% levy on foreign goods in the coming days, and that he would order a raft of trade investigations that should allow him to enact more permanent tariffs.

In a defiant and angry White House press conference hours after the decision, Trump vowed to forge ahead with his approach despite complaints from opponents who say it has undercut longtime trade partnerships and increased costs for Americans. The president has credited his tariff regime for driving substantial investments in the US and preventing foreign conflicts.
