US President Donald Trump has again changed the global tariff. Trump posted on social media that America is now increasing the 10 percent tariff imposed on countries around the world to 15 percent. Trump said that many countries have looted America for decades and this decision has been taken in response to that. Trump has taken this step after the decision of the US Supreme Court in which it ruled against the tariffs imposed under the Economic Emergency Act.

Trump will announce legal tariffs legally

The US President said that his government took this step within the ambit of law and it has been used before also.

Many countries looted America: Trump

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social and said, ‘As President of the United States, I am increasing the global tariff of 10 percent to 15 percent with immediate effect. Until I came, many countries were looting America for decades without any penalty. “Over the next few months, the Trump Administration will set new and legal tariffs that will continue our successful process of Making America Great Again.”

Section 122 of the US Trade Act 1974 allows the President to impose a tariff of up to 15 percent for a maximum of 150 days. However, it has some limitations. Under Section 122, no tariff can exceed 15 percent and cannot remain in force for more than 150 days without the approval of the US Congress.

US Supreme Court calls Trump’s tariffs illegal

The US Supreme Court on Friday (20 February 2026) had declared the tariffs imposed by Trump as illegal. The US President described the court’s decision as shameful and said that he did not expect such a decision. Donald Trump said that the Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs is extremely disappointing and he is extremely ashamed of some members of the court because they do not have the courage to do the right thing in the interest of our country. He said that the court has been influenced by foreign interests and a political movement that is much smaller than people think. This is a small movement.

Trump imposed global tariff after court decision

Trump said, ‘The court bowed to foreign interests. We have more options on tariffs. The goal is to make America great again. The court’s decisions are wrong, but it does not matter. Now will use the second option. Maybe we could charge more. We can stop trade with any country. An additional 10 percent global tariff will be imposed on all countries. My strength increased further due to the decision of the Supreme Court. Now Trump increased this tariff by 5 percent to 15 percent.
