The Trump administration is set to announce the next phase of its trade policy on Thursday, with reports indicating a new round of tariffs is planned. This announcement comes as a 10% tariff regime on much of the world, implemented after a Supreme Court ruling found previous tariffs illegal, is due to expire on Friday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would reveal the details later in the day. The administration asserts its trade agenda aims to revitalize US industry and create jobs, though critics warn of potential price increases. Greer, however, reportedly stated to senators that tariffs have not driven up prices for American families, citing a decrease in core inflation.
