That wraps up today’s live coverage of the second Trump administration. Here’s what happened:

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled 6–3 that the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump under emergency powers were unlawful. The president responded angrily, blasting the decision and promising to pursue other legal routes to expand import taxes.

Later in the day, Trump signed a proclamation announcing a blanket 10% tariff on imports from nearly every country. The policy includes numerous exemptions and is limited to a 150-day window.

At a White House press conference, the president delivered a heated statement attacking the court. The remarks appeared to have been written for social media, as he ended by reading aloud the line, “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

During the event, Trump repeatedly took questions from reporters affiliated with fringe, pro-Trump outlets, allowing him to amplify his message with little pushback.

That evening, he continued his attacks online, saying the six justices who voted against his emergency-based tariffs “should be ashamed of themselves,” arguing that the court had undermined his authority.

Opponents of the tariff policy said consumers and businesses deserve refunds for duties collected under the now-invalid ruling.

Separately, the United States Department of Defense said U.S. forces carried out a strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing three people suspected of drug trafficking.
