See Terms Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Jeanine Herbst. President Trump says he's raising his new global tariffs from 10% to 15%. This after the Supreme Court yesterday struck down most of his earlier Tarif imports to the U.S. he's using a different authority for these new tariffs, but they expire in 150 days and then require congressional approval. NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben says the court's ruling is a blow to his presidential power.

Tariffs have just given Trump enormous power. He had claimed he had the ability to impose tariffs when he wanted, at what level he wanted. And as the head of an economic superpower that gave Trump massive leverage over other countries. And he used that to make trade deals on pharmaceutical pricing, even for diplomacy. And now he doesn't necessarily have that same power anymore.

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reporting. Some of the tariffs Trump had imposed under different sections of the trade act, including steel, aluminum and cars, will stay. A group of Vietnam War veterans are suing to block construction of a proposed monument near arlington National Cemetery. NPR's Windsor Johnston reports. They argue that President Trump's so called Independence Arch lacks proper legal authorization, including congressional approval.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Washington, D.C. and challenges plans to build the monumental arch at Memorial Circle, the point connecting the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Plaintiffs say the 250 foot structure would obstruct the historic line of sight between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington House, disrupting what they call a carefully designed symbolic relationship among those landmarks. Supporters of the project, including the White House, say the proposed arch would mark the nation's 250th anniversary and serve as a tribute to American ideals and national history.

Justice for Quentin, they chanted, and also antifa assassin. The anti faz antifascist groups are killers. Among the crowd were masked men in black. And at the end, at the place where the student was killed, a line of activists held flaming torches in front of a banner reading Goodbye, Comrade alongside a Christian symbol. The imagery was of the ultra right and those attending were members from across France of various small traditionalist, Catholic, nationalist and neo fascist groups with which Quentin Duron associated. Significantly, the hard right populist National Rally, France's biggest party, kept well away from today's rally.
