Trump calls for 50% tariff on goods from nations arming Iran

President Trump announced a 50% tariff on goods from nations arming Iran, effective immediately, though legal questions remain about his authority to implement broad tariffs following a Supreme Court ruling. Construction professionals should monitor how this policy develops, as it could impact material costs and supply chains depending on affected countries and products.

The president said the duty is effective immediately, although it's unclear how it would be implemented after the Supreme Court clipped Trump's power to issue broad levies.
