US President Donald Trump is pressing on with his tariff agenda after a major setback from the Supreme Court, looking to use different avenues to enact the levies.

Trump will sign a directive in the coming days raising his global tariff to 15% “where appropriate” and is seeking “continuity” with nations that struck trade deals, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Wednesday.
