Trump will keep tariffs

USA President Donald Trump has said he will continue imposing tariffs on other countries despite the Supreme Court ruling that overturned the import tax policy.

Mr Trump's latest trade tariffs came into effect on UK imports at 10% on Tuesday, lower than the 15% rate he threatened over the weekend, after he signed an executive order following the Supreme Court's decision on Friday.

Speaking at his State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress at the US Capitol in Washington DC, Mr Trump said: “Almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made. Knowing that the legal power that I, as president, have to make a new deal could be far worse for them, therefore, they'll continue to work alongside the same successful path that we had negotiated before the court's unfortunate involvement.
