- Invoking IEEPA, Trump announced a 10% global tariff for 150 days, with estimates placing collections between $133 and $175 billion, law never before used for across-the-board tariffs.
- Trump praised United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as his `new hero` on Truth Social and noted Kavanaugh was the sole Trump appointee to dissent on IEEPA authority.
- About an hour and a half later, President Donald Trump raised the global tariff cap to 15% via Truth Social and renewed attacks on the court.
