Trump Raises Global Tariffs to 15% After Supreme Court Decision
Tom White
February 23, 2026
U.S. stock futures are modestly lower in premarket trading after President Donald Trump said he’s raising his global tariffs to 15% from 10% after the Supreme Court struck down the president’s “reciprocal” tariffs.
The new tariffs heightened market uncertainty about the outlook for inflation and global growth. Trump also warned that additional levies would be coming over the next few months.
Meanwhile, Iran remains a focal point for investors. This past week, Trump encouraged Iran to reach a deal over its nuclear program, warning that otherwise “bad things” might happen.
Trump is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday.
Nvidia (NVDA) earnings will be a key focus this week for markets. The chipmaking giant is set to release results on Wednesday and the company will have to reassure investors that its artificial intelligence investment strategy remains intact.
