See Terms Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump has signed an executive order that he says imposes a 10% go global tariff on all countries, effective immediately. It comes after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping use of tariffs. The tariffs affected goods from countries around the world. New York based wine importer Vos Selections is one of several plaintiffs that sued the Trump administration over its tariff powers. The company's founder, Victor Schwartz, says the administration should refund importers like him.

There's been so much communication challenges, so many financial challenges. Finding the money to pay the tariffs put a big hole in our cash flow. When you have to come up with that kind of money, you know, for us, it's like in the six figure range. Where's that money going to come from? I can't go to the bond market and raise money like a large corporation. So it's been an existential threat.

Even Trump's new global tariff will require congressional approval after 150 days. The Supreme Court's decision to limit President Trump's ability to impose tariffs is reverberating in Latin America. NPR's Eder Peralta reports it may have effects in Mexico and Cuba.

President Trump declared a national emergency incited drug trafficking as a reason to place 25% tariffs on Mexico. The Supreme Court said that was unconstitutional, but Mexican economists say the effect may be limited because Trump had also issued exemptions. About 80% of Mexican exports to the US are not subject to any taxes. Where the Supreme Court decision might have a big effect is on an executive order Trump issued on Cuba. Citing emergency powers, Trump tacitly threatened Mexico with tariffs if they kept sending oil to Cuba. Mexico had become the island's largest provider of oil. That executive order relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers act, which the Supreme Court has now said he cannot use to impose tariffs. Ada Pralta, NPR News, Mexico City.
