Trump announces new 10% global tariff as he hits out at 'deeply disappointing' Supreme Court ruling

Donald Trump calls the US Supreme Court's decision to strike down his sweeping tariffs "deeply disappointing" as he announces a new 10% levy on global imports

With a 6-3 majority, the court ruled Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed tariffs via a law reserved for national emergencies - they say he needs congressional approval to impose taxes on imports
As expected, Trump says he will attempt to reimpose tariffs - but he's yet to spell out the detail, writes our North America correspondent

The court's ruling applies to Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs, but not individual tariffs he imposed on specific countries or products
