Following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down many of his previous import tariffs, President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a global tariff of 15%, an increase from the 10% he initially proposed. Trump made the announcement on social media, signaling his intent to continue using tariffs as a tool for international pressure despite the court's decision. The Supreme Court's ruling on Friday limited Trump's ability to impose tariffs using emergency powers. Trump stated he will utilize a different legal authority, having already signed an executive order to bypass Congress and impose a 10% tax on imports worldwide. The announcement was made on Saturday, February 20, 2026, in Washington.
