JAKARTA - The US President Donald Trump's administration is exploring new mechanisms to continue imposing import tariffs after the US Supreme Court blocked most of the tariffs that had been implemented last week.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) newspaper, new tariffs could potentially be imposed on a number of industries such as large-sized batteries, cast iron and its accessories, plastic pipes, industrial chemicals, and electrical and telecommunications network equipment.
In addition to these sectors, the Trump team is reportedly considering accelerating the imposition of tariffs in other areas, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, drones, industrial robots, and polysilicon used in solar panels.
As reported by ANTARA, the WSJ said the tariffs would be imposed under Article 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which gives the US president broader authority to impose import restrictions for national security reasons.
Previously, the US Supreme Court on Friday decided to oppose Trump's tariff scheme under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Trump condemned the ruling, saying it was "ridiculous" and ordered a temporary tariff of 10 percent on all imports into the US for 150 days, but a day later, Trump announced an increase in tariffs to 15 percent for all countries.
