Trump announces new 10% global tariff after Supreme Court ruling

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.

We hear from one lawyer in Washington D.C who leads an International Trade department.
