It didn't take long for Trump to take action. After the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that his previous trade tariffs were unconstitutional, Trump vowed to impose new ones.

A few hours later, the president announced via Truth Social that he had signed the order to implement the new tariffs "almost immediately."

According to the White House, the tariffs will take effect on February 24. However, the presidential order is only valid for 150 days, after which Congress must approve an extension.
