President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday placing tariffs on many U.S. trade partners — the next step in his trade agenda that will test the global economy and alliances.

They are set to go into effect in seven days, and not the Friday deadline that the president initially set. The extension reflects the government’s need for more time to harmonize the tariff rates, according to a senior official who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity.
