BBC inside press briefing as Trump criticises Supreme Court tariffs ruling

US President Donald Trump spoke in the press briefing room following the US Supreme Court's decision to strike down his sweeping global tariffs.

The court ruled that Trump had exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, stating that the law "does not authorize the President to impose tariffs." Trump hit back and announced a new 10% levy on global imports that would be imposed under a different statute.

The BBC's Bernd Debusmann was in the room and describes how the president reacted after his sweeping levies were struck down.
