President Donald Trump has raised temporary tariffs from 10&#37 to 15&#37 on U.S. imports after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier trade program. The new move relies on Section 122, a rarely used statute that allows tariffs up to 15&#37 for 150 days without prior congressional approval.    

Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, triggering fresh concerns about the independence of the US central bank. Powell has publicly linked the probe to ongoing political pressure over interest rate decisions, raising alarms across financial markets.
