Trump announces new 10% global tariff after Supreme Court ruling

Loading player...
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.

In this special programme we take a closer look at that Supreme Court ruling, with reaction from businesses and global trade experts...and from the toy company which took on President Trump to win the case.

And will companies have a fighting chance of gaining compensation for the money they feel they have lost due to tariffs? We hear from one lawyer in Washington D.C who leads an International Trade department.
