    The President issued Executive Order 14227, which amends previous orders related to duties at the Southern Border. The amendment specifically changes section 2(g) to allow certain goods to enter duty-free under specific conditions until the Secretary of Commerce informs the President that all systems for collecting tariffs are ready. The executive order clarifies that it does not affect existing legal authority or create new legal rights and will be implemented as allowed by current laws and available funding.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a new rule so some things can come in from the southern border without paying extra money, but only until the person in charge of commerce says everything is ready to collect the money later. This rule won't let anyone sue or get any special benefits from it.

    The President issued Executive Order 14200, which amends a previous order regarding tariffs on goods related to the synthetic opioid supply chain from China. The amendment allows certain goods that are typically duty-free to remain so, unless the Secretary of Commerce tells the President that the systems for collecting tariffs are working well. Additionally, the order clarifies that it doesn't change the authority of any government department or create new legal rights for anyone against the government.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a new rule about when America will put taxes on things they get from China that are part of making bad medicines, like opioids. Some items can still come in without extra costs, but only until the government figures out a good way to collect these taxes fairly.
