Trump Signs 10% Global Tariff Following Supreme Court Setback

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing a 10% global tariff on all imports, pivoting to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 after the Supreme Court struck down his previous trade measures. The new order is designed to take effect almost immediately, though it carries a 150-day statutory limit unless extended by Congress.
