What happened
Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Canadian goods. This action occurred despite the Supreme Court previously limiting his executive tariff authority. The tariffs cover about 54 percent of imported goods, which are described as a tax on American businesses and consumers.
Why it matters
The tariffs are estimated to cost over $800 per household this year. The Supreme Court had previously ruled against the president's unilateral imposition of tariffs, which used emergency powers. This policy creates an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop for the economy.
