a new 10% tariff following a decision by

the Supreme Court of the United States
0:08
to reject his brother global import tax
0:10
proposal. The Supreme Court's ruling
0:14
reportedly blocked aspect of Trump's
0:16
plan that sought sweeping tariffs on a

tariffs protect Americans industries,

domestic manufacturing.

measures could raise consumer prices,

lawmakers, businesses and international

>> We must unite now. We must have one
1:57
army. We must have one currency. We must
2:02
have one foreign policy. We must be
2:05
united.
2:08
And I can hear the Osakia for saying I
2:13
do not want to be the leader of that
2:15
country. I simply want unity. And I'm
2:18
saying that we must leave here with one
2:21
united government. They listen not to
2:24
the Osag.
2:26
I can still hear
2:29
those immortal words.
