President Trump announced Saturday that he plans to raise global tariffs from 10% to 15%. The move comes one day after the Supreme Court struck down the president's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

As Trump prepares to deliver the State of the Union address tomorrow, most Americans say the country is worse off than it was a year ago.

Photographer Martin Roemer spent nearly five years on his ninth photography book, Homo Mobilis.
