On Friday, after the Supreme Court struck down most of Trump’s tariff agenda, he announced that he would quickly implement a 10% flat tariff for all trading partners using a different trade law.
One day later, Trump posted on Truth Social that “effective immediately” he would be “raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff … to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level.”
Under the trade law the administration is now turning to, called Section 122, tariffs of up to 15% can be quickly applied, but only for up to 150 days.
A 10% tariff, which went into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET Tuesday, applies to all countries for 150 days, with exemptions. An official said the administration will raise it to 15% in a separate order that Trump will need to sign. No timeline was divulged.
The United States’ 10% global import tariffs have officially come into effect.
The measure will remain in place for 150 days, until July 24, 2026.
