“Donald Trump’s new 10% global tariffs went into effect on Tuesday, kicking off a White House effort to preserve the president’s trade agenda after the Supreme Court struck down his original sweeping duties,” Bloomberg reports.

“The president signed an executive order last Friday authorizing the 10% import tax just hours after the ruling. He subsequently threatened to raise the number to 15%, but Trump did not officially issue a directive to increase the rate by Tuesday at 12:01 a.m. Washington time when the 10% levy went into effect.”

CNBC: The odds of Trump’s $2,000 tariff dividend checks are “now effectively zero,”

“Senior Trump administration officials have called around to several Arab countries in recent days to mollify their concerns after Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee claimed Israel has a right to control much of the Middle East,” Politico reports.

Wall Street Journal: “With President Trump on the back foot following a stinging judicial rebuke of his power to impose tariffs, Xi Jinping is spying a chance to reset relations with the U.S. on Beijing’s terms.”

“The Supreme Court has effectively dismantled the cornerstone of Trump’s trade strategy, ruling that the White House can’t use emergency powers as a blank check to levy broad, across-the-board tariffs. By stripping away these duties, the court hasn’t just limited the president’s firepower. It has deprived him of his preferred weapon of economic pressure just weeks before he lands in Beijing for a summit with the Chinese leader.”

“The impact on the ground is immediate. The effective U.S. tariff rate on Chinese goods will tumble from 32% to 23%… This drop reflects the administration’s new—albeit temporary—15% global tariff rate, a fallback the administration reached for immediately after the ruling.”

“France’s spat with the U.S. ambassador to Paris took another turn Tuesday with the French foreign minister saying the top U.S. diplomat in France must explain himself after ignoring a French summons,” the AP reports.

“The minister suggested that Ambassador Charles Kushner won’t have access to French government officials until he complies.”

“French authorities had summoned Kushner — the father of U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner — for a meeting on Monday evening over comments from the Trump administration that France objected to. French diplomats said Kushner did not show up.”

“As the Trump administration weighs an attack on Iran, the Pentagon’s top general has cautioned President Donald Trump and other officials that shortfalls in critical munitions and a lack of support from allies will add significant risk to the operation and to U.S. personnel,” the Washington Post reports.
