🇺🇸 Trump Announces New Global Tariffs – What’s Happening?
President Donald Trump has introduced a new 10% global import tariff, effective for 150 days starting February 24, 2026, after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his earlier sweeping tariffs.
🔹 Key Highlights:
10% temporary tariff on most global imports
Implemented using Section 122 of the Trade Act (1974)
Valid for 150 days
Covers most countries and goods
❌ Major Exemptions:
Pharmaceuticals
Aerospace products
Critical minerals
Autos from USMCA countries (Canada & Mexico)
⚖️ Why Now?
The Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s previous tariffs were illegal, saying only Congress had authority. Trump responded quickly using alternative legal powers to maintain trade pressure.
🔜 What’s Next?
Trump has also ordered new investigations under:
Section 301 – unfair trade practices
Section 232 – National security risks
➡️ This could lead to even higher tariffs later in 2026.
The CLARITY Act has not passed yet. Current signals suggest a possible passage in Spring 2026 — most likely between March and May 2026, if political support holds.
Latest status (as of Feb 2026):
The bill passed the U.S. House in July 2025.
It is still pending in the Senate, where votes were delayed in January 2026 due to political disagreements.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently said Congress should pass it by Spring 2026.
Analysts estimate a 50–60% chance of passage in 2026, depending on bipartisan support and election politics.
Expected timeline:
Best-case scenario: March – May 2026 If delayed: Late 2026 or even 2027
