On February 24, 2026, new tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump took effect, just days after the Supreme Court invalidated much of his previous tariff regime. U.S. Customs and Border Protection began collecting an additional 10% tariff on imported goods not covered by exemptions. This action follows the Supreme Court's ruling that Trump exceeded his authority in unilaterally imposing tariffs on individual countries. Trump defends the tariffs as necessary to address U.S. balance-of-payments deficits. The new tariff, which could be extended by Congress, is intended as a temporary measure lasting 150 days while a more permanent trade policy is developed.
