10. Someone educate me. Are we not STILL paying tariffs?

As far as I can tell, nothing that I buy has dropped in price. That would indicate to me that the tariffs have been lifted. In fact, the price of coffee I buy went up more after the Supreme Court decision.

It also seems like Trump announces some new tariff or some increase every week.

I thought he was only able to impose tariffs for 150 days under certain circumstances. In July will we see the tariffs lifted? Or will he just impose new tariffs and keep the ball rolling for another 150 days?
