HAMILTON, Canada (AA) - US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to impose steeper tariffs on countries that "play games" after a Supreme Court verdict last week that, by imposing sweeping global levies, his administration had overstepped its authority.

"Any Country that wants to 'play games' with the ridiculous supreme court decision, especially those that have 'Ripped Off' the U.S.A. for years, and even decades, will be met with a much higher Tariff, and worse, than that which they just recently agreed to," he posted via his social media company Truth Social.

The US Supreme Court last week ruled that "reciprocal" tariffs, fentanyl-related levies and other related duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were unlawful.

Trump criticized the court's "deeply disappointing" decision to invalidate the "emergency" tariffs he had implemented worldwide.
