Just under half of all goods that enter the United States are now subject to tariffs, a New York Times analysis of Census Bureau trade data shows, a stark sign of how President Trump has reshaped American trade since returning to office in January.

The legality of the bulk of the new tariffs is now in jeopardy, as the Supreme Court on Wednesday begins hearing a case that challenges Mr. Trump’s use of an emergency powers law to impose the levies.
