Feb 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President ⁠Donald Trump responded with fury to Friday's Supreme Court ruling that he did not have the power to unilaterally set tariffs on imports, denigrating individual justices as ⁠he vowed to continue a global trade war that has kept the world on edge for a year.

Saying he was undeterred by what he repeatedly called ‌a ridiculous ruling, Trump announced an immediate new 10% tariff on imports from all countries, on top of any existing tariffs. The law allows him to impose that levy for 150 days, although it could face legal challenges.
