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.
