Trump Invokes Section 122 of the Trade Act to Impose 10 Percent Tariff on All Imports

After the Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed under IEEPA, the Trump administration imposed a 10 percent surcharge on all imports starting February 24 under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The move has triggered a legal challenge from 24 states and will automatically expire after 150 days unless extended by Congress.
