President Donald Trump announced he has signed an executive order to impose a 10% global tariff on imports, using legal authorities other than the now-rejected emergency powers law upheld by the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision.

Trump criticized the decision, vowed to pursue alternative legal routes to implement tariffs, and indicated the new tariffs would be temporary, limited to 150 days unless extended by Congress. The decision has generated mixed responses from industry leaders, policymakers, and international partners, with some praising the reaffirmation of Congressional authority and others warning of continued uncertainty in global trade.
