​US President Donald Trump ⁠on Friday ​told ​a ‌briefing ⁠he ​would sign an order ‌to impose a 10% ‌global tariff ​under Section 122 of the ‌1974 Trade ​Act and would initiate ​several ‌other ⁠investigations ‌as ‌well.

Speaking to reporters after the Supreme Court ruled his sweeping global tariffs illegal, Trump said he would impose tariffs using alternative authorities.

"The Supreme Court's decision today made a president's ability to both regulate trade and impose tariffs more powerful and more crystal clear, rather than less," he said.
