Trump warns of 'much higher tariff' for countries that want to 'play games'

By Song Sang-ho

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump warned Monday that any country that wants to "play games" with last week's Supreme Court ruling against his administration's emergency tariffs, will face a "much higher tariff."

Trump issued the warning in a social media post after the high court ruled Friday against his use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify country-specific "reciprocal" tariffs and other duties in a major setback to his trade policy.

"Any Country that wants to 'play games' with the ridiculous supreme court decision, especially those that have 'Ripped Off' the U.S.A. for years, and even decades, will be met with a much higher Tariff, and worse, than that which they just recently agreed to," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"BUYER BEWARE!!!," he added.
