Donald Trump doubles down on aggressive tariff policy with 15% global tax \u2013 key US politics stories from 21 February 2026 at a glance
Donald Trump raised the global duty on imports into the US to 15% on Saturday, doubling down on his promise to maintain his aggressive tariff policy a day after the supreme court ruled much of it illegal.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform that after a thorough review of Friday\u2019s \u201cextraordinarily anti-American decision\u201d by the court to rein in his tariff program, the administration was hiking the import levies \u201cto the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level\u201d.
Shortly after the court\u2019s 6-3 ruling that rejected the president\u2019s authority to impose tariffs under a 1977 economic emergency powers act, Trump had initially announced a new 10% global levy by invoking a different legal avenue.
While Trump\u2019s announcement claimed the new tariffs would take effect \u201cimmediately\u201d, it was unclear whether any official documents had been signed confirming the timing. A White House fact sheet<\/a> issued on Friday regarding the original 10% tariffs said the levies would go into effect at 12.01am ET on 24 February.
German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said he would travel to Washington with a coordinated European position, and warned of the \u201cpoison\u201d of more uncertainty. French president, Emmanuel Macron, said France would consider the consequences of the new global tariff and that the fairest rule was \u201creciprocity\u201d.
