🚨BREAKING: Hours after the Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s tariffs as unconstitutional, Trump signed an executive order imposing a 10% global tariff on all imports into the United States effective immediately.

Just hours after the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Donald Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs violated the Constitution, the White House fired back with a move few in Washington saw coming.
In a swift and dramatic response, Trump signed an executive order late Thursday evening imposing a flat 10% global tariff on all imports entering the United States, effective immediately.
The order was signed behind closed doors in the Oval Office, with only a small group of aides present. Within minutes, the announcement rippled through financial markets, sending stocks tumbling and sparking confusion at major ports and airports nationwide.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court had ruled that the administration overstepped its authority by using emergency economic powers to impose broad tariffs without congressional approval. Legal analysts called the decision a “sharp rebuke” of executive power.
But Trump wasn’t backing down.

“We will protect American workers and American industry — with or without the Court,” he reportedly told advisers before signing the order. “If they strike one down, we put another up.”
Under the new directive, everything from electronics and vehicles to clothing and food products will face the 10% duty. Customs officials scrambled overnight to update systems, while importers rushed to clear shipments before the deadline.
Business leaders reacted with alarm.
Shipping companies warned of immediate price hikes. Retailers predicted shortages. Economists cautioned that everyday Americans could feel the impact within weeks as costs climb on basic goods.
Meanwhile, constitutional scholars say the move sets the stage for another legal showdown — possibly returning the issue to the same court that just struck down the previous tariffs.
“This is likely to become a direct test of presidential power versus judicial authority,” one analyst said. “And it could escalate quickly.”
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers from both parties called emergency meetings, some demanding Congress intervene, others backing the president’s hardline trade stance.
By midnight, global markets were already reacting. Asian exchanges dipped. European leaders signaled possible retaliatory measures. Trade partners warned of counter-tariffs.
For now, one thing is certain: the battle over tariffs has shifted from the courtroom to a high-stakes political and economic standoff — and the consequences could be felt worldwide.
The question hanging over Washington tonight:
Will the courts strike again — or will this order stand?
