U.S. partners that struck deals with Trump now face 10% tariff, says White House

U.S. trading partners that have reached tariff deals with President Donald Trump’s administration will now also face a 10% duty, despite higher levels they may have agreed on previously, the White House said on Friday (February 20, 2026).

This comes as the Supreme Court struck down Mr. Trump’s country-specific tariffs imposed using emergency economic powers.

“This is, however, only temporary as the administration will be pursuing other legal authorities to implement more appropriate or pre-negotiated tariff rates,” a White House official said.

Mr. Trump on Friday (February 20, 2026) signed off on a global 10% tariff “on all Countries,” hours after the Supreme Court ruled his levies on imports are illegal.

“It is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately,” the Republican leader wrote on his Truth Social platform.
