WASHINGTON D.C. — In a weekend that has fundamentally reshaped the American economic landscape, President Trump has officially signed an executive proclamation raising global tariffs to a uniform 15%. This aggressive maneuver follows a Friday afternoon bombshell from the Supreme Court, which struck down the administration's previous "reciprocal" tariff framework.
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the Trump administration's announcement of new global tariffs, reignited trade policy uncertainty. The move came swiftly after the Supreme Court ruled the previous week that the president could not use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for such duties, a decision that had initially sent markets higher. However, the administration invoked a different authority, the Trade Act of 1974, to impose a 15% global tariff for up to 150 days. The rapid reimposition of trade barriers creates significant uncertainty for companies across multiple sectors that depend on international supply chains and global trade. Investors are now weighing the potential impact of these new duties on corporate earnings and broader economic activity.
