President Trump signed a proclamation Friday night that will impose 10% tariffs on most foreign imports to the United States, just hours after the Supreme Court struck down a set of sweeping global tariffs that were issued under a different legal authority.
"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," the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
The move comes as Mr. Trump scrambles to resurrect the worldwide regime of steep tariffs and trade deals that form a core part of his economic agenda. Most of his tariffs hinged on a law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, which the Supreme Court ruled Friday cannot be used to impose tariffs.
The new levies mirror the 10% baseline tariff rate Mr. Trump rolled out on goods from dozens of U.S. trading partners starting last spring. He argues that blanket tariffs are necessary to address trade deficits and revive American manufacturing, but many economists warn that the costs of tariffs are largely borne by consumers.
But many trading partners faced higher rates under Mr. Trump's previous tariff regime, including a set of "reciprocal" tariffs on a litany of countries, and levies on many goods from China, Canada and Mexico that were linked to drug trafficking concerns. Some countries negotiated down those rates as part of broader trade deals. All of those measures, however, relied on the Trump administration's interpretation of IEEPA, which was struckwwww down by the high court on Friday.
The nonpartisan Tax Foundation estimated in November that if Mr. Trump tried to replace his IEEPA tariffs with 10% Section 122 tariffs, it would bring in just over half of the revenue generated by IEEPA. And the actual revenue could be lower if importers decide to wait out the 150-day time limit.
It's not clear whether the administration will try to reinstate any of the higher country-by-country tariff rates. Asked whether his trade deals will remain in place, Mr. Trump told reporters Friday: "Some of them stand. Many of them stand. Some of them won't, and they'll be replaced with the other tariffs."
