U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning that he is raising his new global tariffs to 15 per cent from 10 per cent.
Trump first unveiled the new import levy on Friday, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that outlawed his initial tariff program. He said Saturday’s increase would take effect immediately, describing the new rate as “fully allowed” and “legally tested.”
In a social media post, Trump called the Supreme Court decision “ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American.” He also claimed his new tariffs are based on “thorough, detailed and complete review” of the court’s decision, and accused trade partners of “‘ripping’ the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!).”

The new tariff, which lasts 150 days, starts Tuesday.
Trump’s announcement follows Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that he overstepped his presidential authority by imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and other countries under emergency powers.
Trump is pushing back against that decision, saying his administration is developing alternative processes for imposing tariffs, a cornerstone of his economic policy.
“During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs, which will continue our extraordinarily successful process of Making America Great Again,” he said on social media.
The White House has also said the new tariff will not apply to goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA), which is expected to be reviewed later this year.
Trump also said other industry-specific tariffs, including those targeting steel, aluminum, automobiles and lumber, remain unaffected by the court’s decision.
More to come.

You’re sick, James.
Roussy/Roy, whatever names you use, you need more than meds. Not sure what would help except the le*d kind. Take several at once for good measure.
Ignore my last comment. I probably need new medications. I just looked up the numbers and the U.S. is doing fine economically. Inflation is at 2.4% and trending downwards. Interest rates have held steady. Unemployment is only 4.3-4.4%, and GDP growth for 2025 was 2.2% compared to Canada’s 1.1%. I have to find a way to manage this TDS in my old age. My brain is already going down the toilet.
Trump is going to bankrupt the US just like a lot of his other businesses but it will be the US people that suffer this time not him. He is going to walk away with billions out of his crooked Presidency! It’s all about him, his family and elite rich friends on the backs of the poor and middle class that are now edging toward poor because of his tariff taxes they are paying for. Criminal!
Trust me, I’ll make you my bi tch so fast…faster than you can say the words “lube up.”
Haha! Believe me p*g, you pound on my door and you will find out. What’s that saying? F*ck around and find out?
F *ck I thought you were my Wednesday, Roy.
James Bilodeau I showed up and was pounding your door last night but I heard you pounding another man. Not cool!
Please remove this clown.
Russian trolls.
What a glorious Olympics they had!
Yeah whatever Troll. You go stick whatever it is you feel like up any orifice you want on yourself. Might I suggest a hand grenade up your a*s?
And yes I’ll bring my strap-on. Otherwise you won’t even find my micro weiner.
Bilodeau, I decided to take you up on your offer of some come-in-the-bum-fun.
Russian trolls on here look stupider than they did with fb. But they had a glorious Olympics!
And he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland but Denmark’s PM already told him he needs a straight jacket.
Is there a more annoying cretinous
fool in the world than the Orange Klown?
F *uck Trump for making my life miserable and angry and turning me into a gay man. Some days I escape this feeling for an hour or two but not today. I feel I am tenor three different persons on any given day.
Or better yet just go f * uck yourself Corey.
Please Cory trevor, refer to it as Mr. troll. I surely hope folks can see the difference between Mr. Troll and myself. The hideous sexual references and antagonism smack of Roy Stephenson or whatever that is. Robot, troll, whatever.
U.S. has become a failed state much like Yemen, S.Sudan, Central African Republic, Afghanistan as rule of law handed down by the “court” is ignored. To add more of anything in this case a 15% tariff after a court ruling and have it fall under the 150 day time limit is illegal. It is a dictatorship.
I’m gonna do it! I’ll take my TDS meds and just go. It’s gonna be yummy. Some American stick. Yee haw! I’m so excited! Elbows up and I’ll get on my knees. Oh my I’m getting frisky!
Is s@demy still legal in USA? I’m thinking of relocating. But only if it’s still legal. I figure I’d have more fun there since there are about 100 million more men there. Kelowna is boring since I’ve gone through the list of single men in a short time. I need more stomping ground. Wish me luck peeps
James I’ve always been anti abortion. But in your parents case I’m definitely pro. They would have done the world a big favour getting rid of you. Makes sense though. The one time your dad hits the sun rather then the moon and the world gets a creep like you born into it. Unreal. Usually your mom took it in the azzzz just to avoid something like this. Geesh!
I know that already you f * ck ing mo ron!!!
James you seriously need mental help. Thankfully healthcare is free in canada. Well idiots like you think so. What you don’t understand is that you pay triple in taxes to most countries. Actually more than triple. So you do pay in the end. But stooges like you haven’t figured that out. You run your lips about American healthcare but you don’t understand you pay more. You just pay it in taxes. You donkey! Pthhhh
Any Americans travelling to kelowna stop by and see me. Males only please
Sorry folks. My TDS got the best of me. That and my meth addiction
If it was prime minister trump the elbozos would be overjoyed, that is what they were hoping for instead they elected mr Rogers. Elbows up suckers.
And one wonders why armed people are breaking into his resort and going after him. The most reviled president or leader anywhere! He is fast rivaling H*tler!
Oh of course he is. Such a big t*t baby. Cant get his way so stomp his little p*g hooves and squeals. See what you ‘Murikins, you MAGAts have done? Unleashed a toddler into the world and gave it presidential powers. Fools.
Trump having another one of his many toddler tantrums, the u.s. must be so proud.
We just sit here and read the comments and laugh at all you idiots. I don’t care that I’m writing this. Our parent company Corus Entertainment Inc. is now a penny stock on the TSX and going out of business soon.
Who cares anymore? W oke, far-left weirdos like myself with late-stage incurable TDS.
It’s great to be able to get a 15 minute coffee break from my job at McDonald’s (mopping j izz) so I can spew utter nonsense. I have no life and will probably swallow a whole bottle of pills soon.
Believe me I know US law better than any lawyer, judge, or legal professional down there. I think Trump should be in jail and therefore they should agree with me (because I know more than anybody).
Trump is awesome. Such power. Canada is hopeless.
Why don’t the US citizens throw this bum out !
Who cares anymore?
He’s the new American dream: You can be as stupid as a rock and still be prez in America.
TRUMP has a funny way of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Seems to me that he is only making things WORSE in every way for all americans. Oh well, at his age maybe he does not realize that what he keeps doing is not helping any american especially financially.
Petulant toddler
What an embarrassment. He still doesn’t seem to understand who is paying the tariff tax. He is a one trick pony and dumb one.
Trump is such a pussy. Be tough like Canada! No 15% tarrifs here. When Canada wants to put tarrifs on things like dairy on other countries, it is over 250%
TACO needs to be arrested for contempt of court, and put into prison. Maybe beside the President he kidnapped. He does not seem to be learning anything from the courts.
The tax collectors will be held liable for contempt of court if they try to enforce what the courts clearly told Trump he could not do.
Still stomping his feet and whining.
