President Donald Trump's administration initiated new double-digit tariffs targeting several U.S. trading partners. These duties became effective today, coinciding with the expiration of temporary levies previously implemented by the administration. Before the implementation of these new tariffs, temporary measures had been in place. The Supreme Court recently rendered a decision concerning these earlier levies.
