Donald Trump Imposes New Global Tariffs
Analysis based on 11 articles · First reported Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated Feb 21, 2026
The imposition of new global tariffs by Donald Trump, following the United States===Supreme Court of the United States' ruling, introduces uncertainty into international trade relations and could lead to retaliatory measures from other countries. While the United States===United States Department of the Treasury anticipates stable tariff revenue, the potential for prolonged litigation over past refunds and the initiation of new Section 301 investigations suggest ongoing trade tensions.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new 10% global tariff for 150 days, effective in about three days, to replace emergency duties previously struck down by the United States===Supreme Court of the United States. This decision comes after the Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump had overstepped his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The new tariffs will be imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to impose duties for balance of payments issues without requiring investigations. Additionally, Donald Trump's administration is initiating several Section 301 unfair trade practices investigations to protect the United States from unfair trading practices. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated that the $175 billion in tariff revenue collected under the invalidated IEEPA duties would likely be subject to litigation for refunds, rather than an automatic process. Despite this, the United States===United States Department of the Treasury estimates that the combination of new Section 122 tariffs and enhanced Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs will maintain tariff revenue levels by 2026.
