Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he would raise a temporary tariff rate on US imports from all countries from 10% to 15%, less than 24 hours after the US supreme court ruled against the legality of his flagship trade policy.

The US president initially said he would impose a 10% levy after the Supreme Court struck down his previous import taxes on Friday.
