Trump signs global 10% tariff, says it will take effect 'almost immediately'

  • At the White House, President Donald Trump signed a 10% global tariff to replace IEEPA duties after the U.S. Supreme Court struck them down, saying it would start in about three days.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize tariffs in peacetime, overturning lower courts that found businesses and a dozen U.S. states as plaintiffs.
  • Administration officials said they will initiate Section 301 investigations and Section 232 probes, but these require formal steps that generally take months, potentially delaying tariff changes.
  • Companies have filed suits seeking refunds for $133 billion collected, and Treasury data show collections exceed $175 billion; Trump said, `I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years.`
  • Trump said `Potentially higher` and asserted `In order to protect our country, a president can actually charge more tariffs than I was charging in the past`.
