Trump threatens higher tariffs for countries who "play games" after Supreme Court ruled tariffs illegal

US president Donald Trump has threatened to put higher tariffs on countries that want to "play games" after a key U.S. Supreme Court tariff ruling.

The US's highest court said that the levies imposed by Mr Trump last year based on a national emergency law were illegal.

In response, President Trump imposed a 15 percent tariff on global imports over the weekend and claimed that Congress had given him the power to use other kinds of tariff laws "in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty."
