CommonProof evidence review
The new tariffs covered 99% of U.S. imports and took effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday.
What the evidence shows
AP's summary matches the article's description of the tariff scope and effective time. The underlying proclamation or implementing notice would be the strongest primary record, but I did not open one in this pass.
Evidence considered
- AP says the levies cover 99% of U.S. imports.
- AP says they took effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday.
- A primary implementing notice would be the best corroboration.
