Trump announces 10% global tariff after supreme court ruling – video

US President Donald Trump announced on February 20, 2026, that he will impose a 10% global tariff on all imports, following a Supreme Court ruling that found his current tariff practices illegal and blocked their implementation. Trump referred to the court's decision as a disgrace during his announcement, signaling his administration's continued confrontational approach to trade policy despite judicial constraints. The new tariff represents a significant escalation in the administration's trade war strategy, moving beyond country-specific measures to a blanket approach affecting all trading partners. The announcement came shortly after the Supreme Court delivered its verdict on the administration's previous tariff implementation methods, which had been challenged on multiple legal grounds including overreach of executive authority. Business groups and international allies have already expressed concerns about the potential economic fallout from such broad-based tariffs, which could lead to higher consumer prices and retaliatory measures from trading partners.
