On February 25, 2026, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced that the U.S. will maintain current tariff levels on Chinese goods, which range from 35% to 50% depending on the product, as the Trump administration seeks continuity following the Supreme Court's ruling that invalidated previous tariffs imposed by President Trump. Greer emphasized that this decision is part of a strategy to ensure stability ahead of a crucial meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, stating, "We don't intend to escalate beyond" current rates. This comes as the U.S. plans to increase tariffs for certain other countries from 10% to 15% or higher, aligning with existing trade agreements (South China Morning Post).
