White House officials: The Trump administration is working to increase the temporary global tariff rate from 10% to 15%.

A White House official said Tuesday that the Trump administration is working to increase the temporary global tariff rate announced by Trump from 10% to 15%. Trump has not changed his mind on the 15% tariff rate. This temporary tariff, implemented under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, aims to replace the global tariffs based on the emergency statute that were rejected by the US Supreme Court last Friday. The White House official said that there are no further details on the specific timing of the tariff rate increase. US Customs and Border Protection can only collect tariffs based on information published in formal presidential executive orders or announcements.
