Trump Raises Global Tariffs to 15% Amid West Bank Authority Crisis
President Donald Trump has announced a sharp increase in global tariffs to 15 percent, a decision made shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down previous administration measures. This escalation highlights a intensifying friction between the executive branch and the judiciary over trade authority. In another part of the world, the Palestinian Authority is on the verge of financial collapse. With over $4 billion in tax revenue withheld by Israel, the Authority is paying public sector workers only 60 percent of their salaries. Local communities like al-Mughayyir face increased pressure from settler expansion, which critics and international observers describe as a systematic effort to dismantle the possibility of a two-state solution.
