In response, POTUS just declared a global 10% tariff. Does anyone understand if this is legal?

Offhand, yes, this looks legal, under section 22 of the Trade Act of 1974. Such tariffs, however, are limited to 150 days and a maximum rate of 15%.

Aw shucks, I guess we'll have to wait another year to find out won't we?
