Trump presses on with tariffs and plans a visit to China despite court ruling

US President Donald Trump is responding to the Supreme Court's decision to strike down his global tariffs by announcing the introduction of a new ten percent tariff on all imports into the US, on top of the existing tariffs. Trump claims he feels even stronger and wants to bypass the court ruling with a new order, which he will sign without invoking emergency powers. Behind closed doors, he commented vulgarly on the court's verdict, calling it a disappointment and claiming that the judges had been influenced by foreign interests. Analysts note that it was a surprise how even conservative judges voted against Trump's tariffs.

On the foreign policy front, Trump continues to be active. The administration has informed Congress of its intention to reopen the US embassy in Syria, which was closed in 2012 during the civil war. Trump's special envoy is pushing for closer ties with the country's new leadership. At the same time, the Trump administration condemned the murder of a right-wing activist in France and warned against violence by left-wing extremists.

A significant step is the planned three-day visit to China from March 31 to April 2, which will be Trump's first in-person meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping since October. A breakthrough is expected in relations marked by trade tension and crisis. On the domestic front, Boeing is benefiting from Trump's measures to support domestic industry, although Airbus remains a competitor.
