In February 2026, President Donald Trump raised US global tariffs from 10 to 15 percent after the Supreme Court ruled his previous tariffs unconstitutional. The court's decision struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, deeming it Congress's power to set tariffs. Trump criticized the ruling and invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose a new 10 percent tariff, immediately raising it to 15 percent, the highest rate allowed under that law. This move comes as businesses seek repayment for the $133 billion already collected under the previous tariffs. The new tariffs, which include exemptions for certain products, are limited to 150 days unless extended by Congress and could face legal challenges.
