Trump Signs Order to Impose 10 Percent Global Tariffs After Supreme Court Ruling

President Donald Trump said on Feb. 20 that he signed an order to impose a 10 percent global tariff in response to the Supreme Court striking down sweeping levies issued under an emergency powers law.

“It is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

The tariffs will take effect on Feb. 24 and are implemented under a federal statute known as Section 122. These tariffs can only last for 150 days, unless it's extended by Congress. The administration will also be exploring alternative tariff pathways in the meantime, Trump said at a briefing earlier on Friday.

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, held that the administration lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy tariffs on dozens of countries.

The president called the high court's ruling "deeply disappointing" and said he was "ashamed" of some of the justices.
