Initial Response
Trump signs a proclamation for a 10% tariff under Section 122.
Following a Supreme Court ruling striking down previous import taxes, President Trump has invoked Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act to impose a new 15% global tariff. This temporary measure bypasses the court's restriction for 150 days, creating immediate supply chain volatility for startups and global manufacturers.
