TL;DR

President Trump announced a 10 percent tariff on nearly all imports, circumventing a Supreme Court ruling that overturned previous tariffs. He criticized the justices involved, while outlining exceptions for some imports.

Following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his previous trade policies, President Trump has introduced a new 10 percent tariff on most imports starting February 24, 2026. The decision, which allows some exceptions, sparked controversy with Trump condemning the justices, including those he appointed. The tariffs rely on Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, allowing temporary measures without Congressional approval. The administration may use this period to explore further trade investigations.
