On February 25, 2026, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced that the U.S. tariff rate for certain countries will increase from 10% to 15% or higher, following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated previous tariffs imposed by President Trump. Greer stated, "Right now, we have the 10% tariff. It'll go up to 15% for some and then it may go higher for others," indicating that these new tariffs will be aligned with existing trade agreements (Business Recorder). The announcement follows Trump's plans to visit China for trade discussions, where he aims to maintain current tariff levels on Chinese goods, stating, "We don't intend to escalate beyond" current rates (Tribune Latest). This shift in tariff strategy is part of a broader effort to address unfair trade practices, particularly concerning countries that maintain excess industrial capacity and use forced labor in their supply chains.
