President Donald Trump announced plans to impose global tariffs of 15% in response to a Supreme Court decision that struck down his previous import taxes.
Trump stated last Friday that he would replace the tariffs invalidated by the court with a 10% duty on all goods entering the U.S., but on Saturday, he announced via Truth Social that the rate would instead rise to 15%.
The new tariffs are set to take effect on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, and may remain in place for approximately five months, pending congressional approval. The move is seen as part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to challenge the court’s decision while asserting his economic policies on international trade.
