On February 20, 2026, the US Supreme Court ruled that then-President Donald Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on countries worldwide under a law intended for national emergencies. In response, Trump criticized the Supreme Court as "disloyal" and announced a new 10 percent tariff "across the board," effective immediately. Trump indicated his intention to implement even more stringent tariff measures in the future. The announcement was made during a press briefing at the White House, with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Solicitor General D. John Sauer present. The Supreme Court's decision effectively struck down tariffs issued by Trump the previous year.
