Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. President Trump said Saturday that he will impose a 15 percent global tariff on most goods entering the U.S. That's up from the 10 percent he announced Friday, hours after the Supreme Court ended the tariff scheme that's been a major part of his economic plan.
NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben says it's one move Trump is making to try and keep most of his tariffs in place despite the ruling.
Well, he'll be able to use other laws, or at least he'll try to. He's imposing these new tariffs under a law known as Section 122, which allows a president to impose tariffs for up to 150 days. After that, Congress has to vote on it. In addition, some of the tariffs he's already imposed will stick around. These are called Section 232 tariffs.
They're the tariffs on things like steel and aluminum and cars. But then he also has cited a few other laws he says he can use to impose tariffs.
That's NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben. President Trump has approved a federal emergency declaration for a massive sewage spill into the Potomac River near the nation's capital. Washington, D.C. 's mayor asked the government for help. But as NPR's Kristen Wright reports, the president fought with local and state leaders over just who was to blame.
FEMA says it'll help the District of Columbia with more than 200 million gallons of raw sewage that spilled into the Potomac River a month ago when a line collapsed. The declaration allows the federal government to bring in equipment and resources to coordinate relief efforts with D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. President Trump accused Maryland Governor Wes Moore of mismanagement.

Moore is the vice chair of the organization and the nation's only black governor. FEMA says it'll support the public health response to the spill. Meanwhile, D.C.
's mayor wants the federal government to reimburse all costs. Kristen Wright, NPR News.
The British government is considering introducing legislation to remove the former Prince Andrew from the line of royal succession. This follows Andrew's arrest for crimes linked to his relationship with the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Vicki Parker reports from London.
Despite losing all his royal titles and honors, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor remains eighth in line to the British throne and could theoretically be in line to become regent should both King Charles and Prince William die before William's children reach adulthood. Defence Minister Luke Pollard told the BBC.
Being able to set out very clearly about what are the standards that we as a nation expect, what are those British values we can be proud of, I think points in a direction that it is the right thing to do to stop someone potentially being a heartbeat away from the throne.
Pollard says any parliamentary action should wait until the police investigation into Andrew has concluded. For NPR News, I'm Vicki Barker in London.
And you're listening to NPR News. The Islamic State group released an audio message on Saturday that attacks Syria's interim president and it urges supporters to strike Jewish and Western targets across the world. The audio is the first to be released by the group in months.
